Corinthians 1 Corinthians: Chapter 16 Summary

Time to Tithe

  • Now, onto more practical matters…
  • Paul asks the Corinthians to take up a collection that he can deliver to the church in Jerusalem. Waiting until the end to ask for money? Smart move.
  • He assures them that he's going to visit them soon. Right now, he's pretty caught up in Ephesus. Lots of naysayers hanging around that place.
  • He's sending Timothy to them, though, so he's hoping the Corinthians will treat him well.
  • Paul also mentions that Apollos will be coming sometime in the future. Whenever he has a free minute to travel across multiple regions.
  • He asks them to follow the example of Stephanus and his whole household. They were some of the earlier converts in Corinth, and Paul really digs them.
  • Aquila and Prisca send their love, too, along with all the churches in Asia. That's a lot of love.
  • Paul closes the whole letter by sending his good wishes and prayers for Jesus to come very, very soon.
