Paul closes out his letter to the church of Corinth with a letter with a summary of what was talked about up until that point. Everything in Paul's letter can be summed up in verses 13 and 14 of chapter 16: "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 14 Do everything in love." The church at Corinth had a lot wrong with how they were conducting themselves, but most of all they had forgotten to love. They weren't allowing love to be their defining characteristic. As modern-day believers, we should do everything out of love for God, and others.
