1 Corinthians 16:1-4

The collection. There are various allusions to this contribution collected before Paul's last journey to Jerusalem, in the history and in the writings of Paul. See Rom. 15:25, 26, 2 Cor. 9:1, 2, Acts 24:17. It is interesting to observe that, when it was arranged, at Jerusalem, that Paul should devote his labors to the Gentile world, Peter charged him to remember the poor at Jerusalem. (Gal. 2:10.) This charge Paul seems not to have forgotten.

No gatherings; no collections.

If it be meet; if it be desirable.
