Map for 1 Corinthians 16
Map for 1 Corinthians 16. Paul says he's going to take an offering. Not a 10% tithe. He says, "Give what you're able." Christians taught that Jewish laws, such as those requiring circumcision, tithing, and ritual cleansing for sin were no longer valid:
"Rules the Jews observed are now obsolete" (Ephesians 2:15). "God called this a new agreement. It replaced the old agreement, which became obsolete and is already on the verge of disappearing" (Hebrews 8:13).
"Give as you're able."

Sea Peoples, as they are known, started looking for new land, Philistines among them, who became fierce enemies of Israelite ancestors of today’s Jewish people.
