In his final instructions to the Church in Corinth, Paul interjects this exhortation amongst directions about certain named people. I don’t think it was just an afterthought, but rather an earnest warning placed in the last passage of his letter. It was forthright & direct…be ever watchful of your walk with the Lord…Hold firmly to your faith & the Gospel Message…Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, knowing it is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead…and finally, Paul wraps it all up in – follow the way of love, or pursue love…which is an action we are obliged to perform one to another.
