In this Bible study on 1 Corinthians 16:1–12, Fr. Gabriel shifts from deep theology to practical matters. He explains Paul’s instructions for a collection to support the struggling Christians in Jerusalem, encouraging weekly giving in advance so it’s not tied to his visit. Paul outlines his tentative travel plans and emphasizes that his mission is guided by where the Lord opens doors—even amid adversity. He commends Timothy and Apollos as trusted co-laborers in the faith, reminding the Corinthians to receive them with respect. Through these closing words, we glimpse the spirit-led, communal life of the early Church.
