1 Corinthians 1614

1 Corinthians 16:14 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the First Epistle to the Corinthians, written by the Apostle Paul. The verse reads, "Let all that you do be done in love" (English Standard Version). This passage is a concise exhortation from Paul, encouraging the Corinthian believers to ensure that their actions are motivated and guided by love. The Greek original is "Πάντα ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ γινέσθω," which translates to "Let all things of yours in love be done" or "Let all your things be done in love." The Hebrew translation is "תִּהְיֶה כָּל-מַעֲשֵׂיכֶם בְּאַהֲבָה" (Tihyeh kol-ma'aseichem be'ahava). In Latin, it is rendered as "Omnia autem vestra in charitate fiat." Contextually, this verse is part of Paul's closing remarks in his first letter to the Corinthians, where he provides practical instructions and final exhortations. The emphasis on love aligns with Paul's broader theological emphasis on love as a foundational aspect of Christian living, as seen in other passages such as 1 Corinthians 13. The verse serves as a reminder that love should be the driving force behind all actions and interactions within the Christian community.
