'Saints' in the Bible

Paul, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah) by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,To the church of God which is at Corinth, and to all the saints (God’s people) throughout Achaia (southern Greece):

begging us insistently for the privilege of participating in the service for [the support of] the saints [in Jerusalem].

I give you my opinion in this matter: this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to take action [to help the believers in Jerusalem], but also [the first] to desire to do it.

Now it is unnecessary for me to write to you about the offering [that is to be made] for the saints [in Jerusalem];

For the ministry of this service (offering) is not only supplying the needs of the saints (God’s people), but is also overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.

All God’s people greet you.
