SUMMARY OF I CORINTHIANS 16: The Collections for the Saints. The First
Day of the Week. His Work at Ephesus. Timothy Commended to Them.
Various Friendly Admonitions. Closing Salutations.
Now concerning the collection for the saints. The collection for
the poor saints at Jerusalem is referred to more than once in Acts. It
was first called for when "a great dearth" came upon the land
(Acts 11:28-30). The church at Jerusalem had been impoverished by
the great liberality in its first years, and by the persecutions which
followed. See also Acts 24:17. References to this collection are
found in Romans 15:26 2Co 8:1,2 9:1,2.
To the churches of Galatia. The directions to the churches of
Galatia on this subject have not been preserved. Such hints as this and
the reference to a lost letter to the church of Corinth (1 Corinthians 5:9),
show that all that Paul wrote has not come down to us.
