In this final chapter of Paul's letter we see him encouraging the Corinthians to give a portion of their income, both to provide for the needy (v. 1-3), and to help provide for his travel expenses (v. 6). We see Paul's care for his co-laborers: Timothy, Apollos, Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus.
We also see the charge he makes to the Corinthians, and what a beautiful word of encouragement it is.
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love." (v. 13-14).
It's a great prayer for us all.
