Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Corinthians 16:21-24

1 Corinthians ANATHEMA AND GRACE 1Co_16:21 - 1Co_16:24 . Terror and tenderness are strangely mingled in this parting salutation, which was added in the great characters shaped by Paul’s own hand, to the letter written by an amanuensis. He has been obliged, throughout the whole epistle, to assume a tone of remonstrance abundantly mingled with irony and sarcasm and indignation. He has had to rebuke the Corinthians for many faults, party spirit, lax morality, toleration of foul sins, grave... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:13-24

Exhortations and Salutations 1 Corinthians 16:13-24 The Apostle was careful to cultivate friendship, one of the priceless gifts of God; and he was very generous not only in his references to his friends, but also in his dealings with them. Because Timothy was deficient in virile strength, Paul was always contriving to make his way easier; and though Apollos had drawn away some of his converts, the Apostle was desirous for him to visit Corinth again. Nor could he forget the household which... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

The last chapter of the epistle is local and personal. In the first sentences important principles are revealed as to the true method of Christian giving. It is to be regular and systematic rather than occasional and spasmodic. It is to be personal and alone, for laying by in store does not mean placing in a collection basket in a meeting, but privately apportioning and guarding. There follow references full of suggestive beauty to Timothy, and Apollos, and injunctions which are epigrammatic... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

The Postlude 1 Corinthians 16:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Final words are always listened to eagerly among friends. That is the reason we are calling the study for today, a postlude, because they are the things that Paul spoke not only last of all, but also words he spoke after he had spoken many other things. The chapter before us covers things which naturally would come in as a postscript, or a postlude, to the writing which had gone before. We wish to call attention to the opening verses of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:13-24

Final Words (16:13-24). Paul comes to the end of his letter with an exhortation. It has similarities to that in 1 Corinthians 15:58. This is then followed by a further exhortation to take note of their leaders and honour and obey them, and all who truly serve Christ, a commendation of them for sending these men to him to encourage him, and a greeting to them from the wider church, including people whom they knew. He then finishes with a word in his own handwriting, demonstrating that he has... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:21

‘The salutation of me Paul with my own hand.’ He finishes with his own salutation. He has now taken the pen in his own hand and adds this postscript in his own writing. This both guaranteed the genuineness of the letter and assured them of his personal concern and love (compare Galatians 6:11-18). read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

1 Corinthians 16. Various Business and Personal Matters. Salutation.— First ( 1 Corinthians 16:1-Numbers :) he gives instructions as to the collection for the poor Christians at Jerusalem ( 2 Corinthians 8 f.*, Romans 15:25-Hosea :, Acts 24:17, p. 771 ). The Church had apparently consulted him on the matter. We have no information as to the injunctions given to the Galatian churches. Every Sunday something should be laid by at home for the purpose. This is the first indication we have of any... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:21

These words are judged to signify to us, that though the former part of the Epistle was written out of Paul’s copy by some others, yet the three last verses were written by him with his own hand. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:15-24

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 16:15.—Postscript-like personal matters begin here. Achaia.—This corrects the wrong reading in Romans 16:5. Stephanas’ household.—See 1 Corinthians 1:16. What a family picture! “Addicted to,” etc. Stanley (apparently alone) thinks the Stephanas of 1 Corinthians 16:17 the slave of this one, who had taken his master’s name, by a not unusual custom; Fortunatus and Achaicus being his fellow-slaves.1 Corinthians 16:17.—No blame to the Corinthians in “lacking on your... read more
