1 Corinthians 16:13-14Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.The requirements of the Christian warfareThe associations of war and battle breathe in every word of this exhortation. It touches the heart as the spirit-stirring address of a trusted leader touches the hearts of his comrades at some great emergency of the conflict. As the foe gathers in the distance, half hidden behind the brow of the hill or beneath the shadow of the forest, and it remains doubtful for the... read more

1 Corinthians 16:14Let all your things be done with charity. Love more effective than logicAs means towards the attainment of the best ends there is no comparison between these.

The first was seduced, the second stumbled, the third fell, while the eye of watchfulness was fallen asleep. read more

14 Let all your things be done with charity. Ver. 14. Let all your things, &c. ] Love is the saint’s livery, John 13:35 . Heathens acknowledged that no people in the world did love one another so as Christians did. In the primitive times, Animo animaque inter se miscebantur, as Tertullian speaketh. But now, alas, it is far otherwise love began to grow cold among these Corinthians. Hence this sweet and savoury counsel. Charity in Christ’s days was much decayed; in Basil’s time, dried up.... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

c. Paul’s final interjected admonition, 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 . Paul must utter a few more words of rousing admonition before he closes. His words are almost all of military force. 13.

Be strong Strain up your nerve and sinew. With charity Rather, in love; a caution against... read more
