Berean Standard Bible

“If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!”

1 Corinthians 16:22

Save as image

Study note

Paul closes the letter by taking the pen himself, as he often did, and adds a last sober note before the blessing. Corinth had been troubled by pride, division and tolerated sin, so the ending carries weight.
