As we come to the end of a long letter like 1 Corinthians, we are sometimes tempted to think that the concluding remarks are sort of ‘filler material.’ Here we find mention of Paul’s travel plans, some personal greetings, and an exhortation or two. Since the travel plans have already taken place, and the people mentioned are unfamiliar to us, we might wonder what practical benefit a passage like this has for the church today. In reality, what Paul writes here has tremendous value in shaping our perspective and our practice.
