1 Corinthians 16: 1-18 (NIV)
Throughout Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, he urges them to "stand firm" in the Christian way of life. In today's reading, he reminds them to stand firm in their giving; to stand firm in the face of opposition; and to stand firm in their love and commitment to each other.
