1 Corinthians 16:13–24 — Final Exhortations

Final Exhortations

13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage, and be strong. 14 Everything you do should be done in love.

15 Brothers, you know that the household of Stephanas is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to serving the saints. I urge you 16 to submit to such people and to everyone who joins together in the work and labors with them. 17 I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because these men have supplied what was lacking on your part. 18 For they have refreshed my spirit as well as yours. So give recognition to such men.

19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila [fn]and Priscilla greet you earnestly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets in their house. 20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. 22 If anyone does not love [fn]the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Our [fn]Lord has come! 23 The grace of the Lord Jesus [fn]Christ be with you. 24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.

[fn]Amen.

16:22 Lord has come ¦ Lord, come HF NA SBL ¦ {inconclusive} PCK {Note: The difference depends on where the word break occurs. The main Greek text reads Μαραν αθα (Maran atha) while HF, NA, and SBL read Μαρανα θα (Marana tha). PCK does not include a word break, leaving it ambiguous. However, in his English translation, Pickering prefers the reading of the main Greek text.}
