1 Corinthians 16:23,24 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.'

He finishes with his conventional greeting, praying that the unmerited favour of the Lord Jesus Christ might continue to be with them, and unusually adds an expression of his own love for them all in Christ Jesus. His hope and yearning is that they might all prove to be lovers of the Lord and so he directs his love towards all.

‘Amen.' So be it.
