1 Corinthians 16:14

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:14

Charity (as hath been before discoursed) is a term comprehensive both of love to God, and to our neighbour; the failure of this in their divisions and contentions, and satisfying their own judgments and humours, without regard to the consciences of others, and having no regard to the profit of others, is that which the apostle, in this Epistle, had once and again blamed in the members of this church; in the conclusion of his Epistle, he therefore again recommends to them the getting and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:5-14

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 16:5.—This arrangement set aside an earlier plan (2 Corinthians 1:16) to come direct to Corinth from Ephesus by ship, and thence to go to Macedonia. Now he will come to Corinth viâ Macedonia. This change of plan now announced occasioned the misconception and misrepresentation of 2 Corinthians 1:17, etc. The true reason was 2 Corinthians 1:23.1 Corinthians 16:5-6.—“I (only) pass through (not stay in) Macedonia; I shall perhaps stay, and perhaps even winter with you.”... read more

DISCOURSE: 1996CHRISTIAN COUNSEL1 Corinthians 16:13-14. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity.OF all the apostolic Churches, not any one seems to have been so corrupt as that at Corinth: at least, St. Paul reproves more evils there than in any other. In this epistle to that Church he addresses himself to the consideration of several abuses which had crept in among them: and now, in the close of it, he gives them, in few words,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

Chapter 16And so he writing to them now about taking up a collection for the saints [that are in Jerusalem], as he asked also the churches in the area of Galatia. Now he said on the first day of the week ( 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 )Which would seem to indicate that they did gather together on Sunday.let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that you don't take any collections when I come ( 1 Corinthians 16:2 ).Paul didn't want them taking offerings while he was there, he... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

1 Corinthians 16:1 . The collection for the saints, chiefly for the poor ministers of the word. This was to be done once a week, and it is the ancient and best way for poor people to support the gospel by a mite from their weekly earnings. If a man cannot save a trifle every week by serving God, religion has done little for him. 1 Corinthians 16:2 . Upon the first day of the week, the christian sabbath, which was appointed on the first day of the week by Christ himself, after his... read more

Lyth, D.D.)Ministerial solicitudeWe are reminded--I. That human plans and purposes are fraught with... read more

1 Corinthians 16:13-14Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.The requirements of the Christian warfareThe associations of war and battle breathe in every word of this exhortation. It touches the heart as the spirit-stirring address of a trusted leader touches the hearts of his comrades at some great emergency of the conflict. As the foe gathers in the distance, half hidden behind the brow of the hill or beneath the shadow of the forest, and it remains doubtful for the... read more

1 Corinthians 16:14Let all your things be done with charity. Love more effective than logicAs means towards the attainment of the best ends there is no comparison between these. The latter may convince the understanding and leave the heart unchanged, but the former will win the heart, and with that gained, the understanding will usually soon succumb. The difference between them is similar to that between a mallet and the sun in reducing ice to water. The mallet may break the ice into small... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:14

14 Let all your things be done with charity. Ver. 14. Let all your things, &c. ] Love is the saint’s livery, John 13:35 . Heathens acknowledged that no people in the world did love one another so as Christians did. In the primitive times, Animo animaque inter se miscebantur, as Tertullian speaketh. But now, alas, it is far otherwise love began to grow cold among these Corinthians. Hence this sweet and savoury counsel. Charity in Christ’s days was much decayed; in Basil’s time, dried up.... read more
