Paul laid no command upon the Corinthian brethren. But he set before them the necessity of the church at Jerusalem, and showed what others had given who had fewer advantages and less ability than had the Corinthians. He presented the example of others, to induce them to give (Manuscript 12, 1900).{6BC 1103.3}

Paulus pålagde ikke de korintiske brødre nogen befalinger. Men han fremlagde nødvendigheden for en menighed i Jerusalem for dem, og viste hvad andre havde givet, som havde mindre muligheder og mindre evner end korinterne havde. Han frembragte eksemplet for andre, og tilskyndede dem til at give. (MS 12, 1900).
