Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:24

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.In Christ Jesus ... This phrase beyond all others is the badge and signature of the gospel Paul preached. The whole book of Ephesians, practically, is founded upon the conception inherent in this phrase which so abounds in his writings. If one is "in Christ" and if one is "found in him" (Philippians 3:9), salvation is assured and heaven is certain! It was that relationship to the Corinthians as his fellow-members of Christ's spiritual body to which... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:24

1 Corinthians 16:24. My love be with you all, &c.— When we consider what an alienation of affection some of these Corinthians had expressed with respect to our Apostle, this declaration of tender regard to them all, without any exception, is so much the more affectionate, andfully displays the benevolent disposition of his mind.—With respect to the subscription of this epistle, see on 1 Corinthians 16:8. Inferences.—The example of St. Paul before us should teach ministers to be ready to... read more

24. My love, &c.—After having administered some severe rebukes, he closes with expressions of "love": his very rebukes were prompted by love, and therefore are altogether in harmony with the profession of love here made: it was love in Christ Jesus, and therefore embraced "all" who loved Him. The subscription represents the Epistle as written from Philippi. :- shows it was written at Ephesus. BENGEL conjectures that perhaps, however, it was sent from Philippi (1 Corinthians 16:5), because... read more

B. Final greetings and benediction 16:19-24"The letter now concludes with a series of standard (for Paul) greetings (1 Corinthians 16:19-22) and the grace-benediction (1 Corinthians 16:23). But Paul cannot quite give up the urgency of the letter, so he interrupts these two rather constant elements of his conclusions with one final word of warning to those who have been causing him grief, this time in the form of an extraordinary curse formula (1 Corinthians 16:22). The apparent harshness of... read more

Paul concluded this strong but loving epistle with a prayerful benediction of God’s grace. Note that this letter also began, "Grace to you" (1 Corinthians 1:3)."Grace is the beginning and the end of the Chrstian [sic] gospel; it is the single word that most fully expresses what God has done and will do for his people in Christ Jesus." [Note: Fee, The First . . ., p. 839.] Paul also added assurance of his own love for all the believers in Corinth, not just those who supported him. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

The Collection. Personal Messages and ConclusionThe Apostle in this chapter instructs the Corinthians to make a collection for the poor Christians in Judæa, intimates his intention of visiting them at an early date by way of Macedonia, and concludes with kind messages of brotherly love. In 1 Corinthians 16:8 he mentions his intention to stay in Ephesus till Pentecost. He probably stayed much longer, owing to the troubles that arose in Corinth; for in our Second Epistle (2 Corinthians 9:2) he... read more

(24) My love be with you all.—Like a river which, after rushing, foaming over many a rock and through many a gorge, at last emerges into a broad calm amid sunlit meadows, so this Epistle, after chapters of trenchant logic and fervid rebuke, closes in peaceful words of tenderness and love.[In reference to the erroneous subscription which follows this Epistle in our English version, see Notes on 1 Corinthians 16:5; 1 Corinthians 16:8; 1 Corinthians 16:10.For the date of this Epistle, see... read more
