Having written a difficult letter, the apostle Paul finally concludes. All that needs to have been said has been said. The Corinthians should prepare for Paul’s imminent visit (vv. 1–10) and here in his final words he tells them how to prepare: They should
1. rejoice with one another (v. 11),
2. receive one another (vv. 12–13), and
3. remember alongside one another (v. 14)
