Psalm: 31

Meditation: 1 Cor
How do you end a letter rebuking your followers, disciples and students? Paul ends with some housekeeping and reminders of the status of the church’s leaders and congregants. He adds requests to honor and love each other. His letter includes a personal salutation and a warning to those that were falling away. How do you think this would have been received?
