1 Corinthians 16:24, My Love Be With You All in Christ Jesus
1 Corinthians 16:24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus.
These closing words of affection and endearment from God’s servant, the Apostle Paul, for God’s people invoking the power of Christ Jesus to effect His blessings upon their lives.
William MacDonald observed well, “Throughout the entire Epistle we have listened to the heartbeat of this devoted apostle of Christ. We have listened to him as he sought to edify, comfort, exhort, and admonish his children in the faith. There was no doubt of his love for them.”
He insightfully concluded, “When they read these closing words, perhaps they would feel ashamed that they had allowed false teachers to come in, questioned Paul’s apostleship, and turned away from their original love for him.” Amen.
