• not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them, so that none was in want. But there, partly through this surprising testimony of unselfish love, poverty prevailed later; and none among the Gentile assemblies was so urgent as our apostle that relief should be sent for the brethren in Judea, not merely during the great famine under Claudius Caesar, but thenceforward, as we may gather from 1 and 2 Corinthians, as well as Romans. (Cf. Gal. 2:10; Acts 24:17) (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 16:1-12” by W. Kelly)
• The letters were to be his, not theirs as the Authorized Version says…the Corinthians really were to select whom they approved, and Paul, on arriving, would send them on, furnished with letters from himself. So too the Greek commentators understood. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 16:1-12” by W. Kelly)
• The collections of the saints should be used for the needs of the Lord’s people. It could be for His servants from whom we receive spiritual help (Phil. 4:14-18), or for special needs of the poor of the flock (2 Cor. 8-9). On this occasion Paul was not speaking of a collection for those who ministered the Word, but for “the poor saints which are at Jerusalem” (Rom. 15:25-26).
