Anathema Maranatha
1 Corinthians 16:22
16:22 Anathema Maranatha. This unique expression seems to mean “Accursed—the Lord is coming!” This is a final reminder from Paul that there are just two classes of people—those who love the Lord Jesus (because He first loved them) and those who do not. The latter are destined for destruction (note II Thessalonians 1:7-9), and this message is especially urgent in view of the imminent coming of the Lord.
