v1. The last major topic Paul brings up is the matter of the collection for the poor saints at Jerusalem. Apparently these are the same or similar to instructions he has given to the other churches.

v2.  Gifts were to be brought on the first day of the week, Sunday, as the church was not observing the Jewish sabbath after Christ arose on the first day. Notice this does not stipulate a tithe or any other amount, but as God has prospered them. Since God expected a tithe in the Old Testament, it seems a tithe would be a good starting point now. 2 Cor. 8 and 9 suggest giving liberally and cheerfully, not out of necessity. This should be already done before Paul came to avoid any inconveniences. Some people use this verse along with Malachi 3:1 as the basis for “Store House Tithing”. This is a very narrow approach in which no money can be given to any missionary or religious work, but must be given entirely into the local church.

v3,4.  The gifts would be sent by one of their representatives along with Paul.

v5-9. He would like to arrange his tour so that he could spend the winter with them, but he sees the need to remain at Ephesus for a while.  If there is an open door, expect that there will be adversaries, and go ahead.

v10,11. Timothy was apparently somewhat timid and Paul is clearing the way for him. He not only admonished them not to despise Timothy, but encouraged him,“Let no man despise they youth”, 1 Tim. 4:12.

v12. Apollos had been in Corinth and was the favorite of some, chapter 1.

v13,14.  In light of all the problems discussed they were to be watchful, steadfast in faith, brave and strong, but all through love as in chapter 13. 

v15,16. The Corinthians should be submissive to Stephanus’ household, the first converts in Achaia and now faithfully laboring, as well as other of Paul's helpers.

v17,18.  This is not a rebuke for their lack but recognition of what these men did.

v19-24. Here other greetings. I still prefer the hand shake to the holy kiss. Paul was the writer and the signature at least was his own. Knowing the problems of their church, perhaps Paul wanted to put in one last warning,

v22. Any that didn’t love the Lord should be “accursed”, and regarding his words about the resurrection, “Our Lord cometh.”
