# Public 1–2 Corinthians and Romans print a collection for the poor in Jerusalem as a transfer heading

Date: 1979

## The fact

The public letters describe a collection for Jerusalem’s poor. A named transfer is a [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) heading of medium confidence, not a famine-relief agency.

## Context

Money can be patronage. It still names a claim of the distant poor.

[Paul the Apostle](/people/paul-the-apostle) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official Bible-society, Vatican, or library pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: New Advent — Romans (Douay-Rheims / Challoner) (https://www.newadvent.org/bible/rom001.htm; New Advent).

## Significance

Printed collection-for-saints is not a logistics fleet.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
