1 Corinthians 16:19-24 - Final Greetings And Benediction

¹⁹ The churches of Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca, together with the church [that meets] in their house, send you their warm greetings in the Lord. ²⁰ All the believers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

²¹ This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. ²² If anyone does not love the Lord [does not obey and respect and believe in Jesus Christ and His message], he is to be accursed. Maranatha (O our Lord, come)! ²³ The grace of our Lord Jesus [His unmerited favor, His spiritual blessing, His profound mercy] be with you. ²⁴ My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

¹¹ Finally, believers, rejoice! Be made complete [be what you should be], be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace [enjoy the spiritual well-being experienced by believers who walk closely with God]; and the God of love and peace [the source of lovingkindness] will be with you. ¹² Greet one another with a holy kiss.

¹³ All God’s people greet you.

²¹ Remember me to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. ²² All God’s people wish to be remembered to you, especially those of Caesar’s household. ²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

¹⁹ Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to the household of Onesiphorus. ²⁰ Erastus stayed on at Corinth, but I left Trophimus sick at Miletus. ²¹ Try your best to come [to me] before winter. Eubulus wishes to be remembered to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers and sisters.

²² The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
