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 meetings for public worship, on the first day of every week. The argument thence drawn for the religious observation of the first day of the week, in these primitive churches of Corinth and Galatia, is too obvious to need any illustration, and yet too important to be passed by in an entire silence. The word θησαυριζων signifies, properly, "putting into the common treasury;" treasuring it up in the common stock; for it is certain, the Apostle directs that they should, every Lord's day, bring to the congregation what their charity had laid aside the foregoing week, as their gain came in; that there it might be put into some public box, appointed for that purpose, or into the officers' hands. For if they only laid it aside at home, there would, nevertheless, be need of a collection when he came. See Luk 24:1. Joh 20:1. Mat 28:1. |
