Introduction
Paul tells the Corinthians about the money he hopes to collect to help the followers in Jerusalem. He also hopes to come and see the Corinthians again soon. He closes by encouraging the Corinthians to welcome his friend Timothy and then sends greetings to many in Corinth.
Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13, 14
Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong. Do all your work in love.
Today’s Reading
1 Corinthians 16:1-24
Reflect
When he was in Jerusalem, Paul agreed to gather a collection for the believers in Jerusalem (see Romans 15:25-28; Galatians 2:10). What instructions does he give to the Corinthians (verse 2)?
How are collections for those in need handled in your community of faith? “Marana tha” is a transliterated Aramaic or Syriac expression for “Our Lord, come!” and Paul concludes his letter with a prayer for Christ’s imminent return (verse 22). Why would Paul have ended his letter with those words? (See also Revelation 22:20).
Pray
O Lord Jesus, teach me to be alert, to stand firm in the faith, to be brave, to be strong, and to do everything in love. Come into my heart today and reign there forever. Amen.
Prayer Concern
The poor
Tomorrow’s Reading
