# 1 Corinthians 16 General Notes #
#### Structure and formatting ####
Paul briefly covers many topics in this chapter. It was common in the ancient Near East for the last part of the letter to have personal greetings.
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
##### Preparation for his coming #####
Paul tells them to start collecting money every Sunday for a gift for the believers in Jerusalem. He told them he would come to them and hoped to spend the winter with them. He told them to help Timothy when he came. He had hoped Apollos would go to them, but Apollos did not think it was the right time. Paul also told them to obey Stephanus. Finally he sent his greetings to everyone. These are practical instructions to help prepare the church for his visit.
