And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 16:3 Go To 1 Corinthians 16
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
I will send your liberality to Jerusalem. Å’cumenius points out that he does not here speak of alms, as he might truly have done, because the name of alms is degrading and insulting to the saints who were to receive them, but he uses a more polite term—liberality, kindness, blessing.
And if it be meet that I go also they shall go with me. S. Paul stirs up the Corinthians by these words to make a larger collection, one large enough to be fit for him to take.
