In looking at 1 Corinthians
16:2, “Upon the first day of the week let every one of
you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings
when I come.” There is no reference for a public meeting made here, much
less a reference to Sunday as a holy day.
This verse is an
exhortation by Paul to the believers in
After the Sabbath Saturday
had passed, Sunday morning was the time the believers paid bills and settled accounts.
Therefore, Paul suggests that something for their needy brethren be put aside
so that it would be on hand when he came. It is interesting to mention that La
Santa Biblia (a Spanish translation) says, “at home”, meaning that this was
to be done privately. There is nothing in the verse that even remotely suggests
that there is any sacredness attached to the first day of the week.
