Berean Standard Bible

“Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.”

1 Corinthians 16:13

Save as image

Study note

In the final chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul deals with practical matters: a collection for poor believers in Jerusalem, his travel plans and news about coworkers. Before closing greetings, he gives a burst of short commands, like a commander's final words to troops.
