The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:2

Upon the first day of the week. This verse can hardly be said to imply any religious observance of the Sunday, which rests rather on Acts 20:7 ; Revelation 1:10 ; John 20:19 , John 20:26 . Lay by him in store. The Greek phrase implies that the laying up was done at home, but when the money was accumulated, it was doubtless brought to the assembly and handed over to the presbyters. As God hath prospered him; rather, whatsoever he has been prospered in; i.e. all that his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:2

Upon the first day of the week - Greek, “On one of the Sabbaths.” The Jews, however, used the word Sabbath to denote the week; the period of seven days; Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:9; Luke 18:12; Luke 24:1; John 20:1, John 20:19; compare Leviticus 23:15; Deuteronomy 16:9. It is universally agreed that this here denotes the first day of the week, or the Lord’s Day.Let every one of you - Let the collection be universal. Let each one esteem it his duty and his privilege to give to this object. It was... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 16:1-2

1 Corinthians 16:1-2. Now concerning the collection During the apostle’s eighteen months’ abode at Corinth, he had exhorted the brethren there to undertake the making a collection for the poor saints in Judea. But the divisions in their church, it seems, had hitherto hindered them from beginning it. The apostle therefore here requests them to set about it immediately, and directs them as to the mode of proceeding. The saints in Judea were, it appears, at this time, in great straits, both on... read more

1 Corinthians 16:2-4. Upon the first day of the week So κατα μιαν σαββατων here signifies, the Hebrews using the numeral for the ordinal numbers, as Genesis 1:5, The evening and the morning were one day; that is, the first day; and also using the word sabbath to denote the week, as Luke 18:12. I fast twice, του σαββατου , in the week. So Mark 16:2, πρωι της μιας σαββατων , early the first day of the week. Let every one of you lay by him in store, &c. Not the rich only: let... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:1-4

16:1-24 FINAL INSTRUCTIONSPlans for the collection (16:1-4)For many years Paul had been concerned for the poor Christians in Jerusalem, and he was always doing his best to help them (Acts 11:27-30; Galatians 2:10). During his third missionary journey he had been organizing a collection of money and goods among the Gentile churches to take to Jerusalem. He hoped that as the Jerusalem Christians saw the loving concern that the Gentile churches had for them, they would feel a greater sense of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:2

Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.Upon the first day of the week ... The astounding remark by Farrar that "This verse can hardly imply any religious observance of the Sunday"[7] is to be rejected. That is exactly what it does imply. Macknight translated this clause, "On the first day of every week";[8] Grosheide declared the meaning to be "On every Sunday";[9] and Hodge said it means, "The... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:2

1 Corinthians 16:2. Upon the first day of the week— Beza observes here, that Basil joined these words, upon the first day of the week, to the preceding clauses which he reads thus: Now, concerning the collection for the saints, &c. even so do ye upon the first day of the week. According to this reading, the following words will express, not what he advises to be done on that day, but previously the week before, in order to prepare for the collections which were to be made, at their usual... read more

2. first day of . . . week—already kept sacred by Christians as the day of the Lord's resurrection, the beginning day both of the physical and of the new spiritual creations: it gradually superseded the Jewish sabbath on the seventh day (Psalms 118:22-24; John 20:19; John 20:26; Acts 20:7; Revelation 1:10). So the beginning of the year was changed from autumn to spring when Israel was brought out of Egypt. Three annual feasts, all typical of Christian truths, were directed to be kept on the... read more
