 Paul is not suggesting this offering, he's directing it. He's saying, I'm giving a direction to the church, a directive to the church. And the directive I'm giving to the church of Corinth is that you take this special offering. Now notice carefully verse 2, on the first day of each week, of every week, each one of you. Verse 2 makes it clear that each one was responsible to obey this command. Every individual of the church was commanded to recognize this directive that Paul was giving to the church. I do not see here any age or sex discrimination in the charge.
