We have all heard phrases like, “Before I leave—let me just say”, or “Before I go let me leave you some final thoughts”, and then there is in conclusion let me leave you with these thoughts”. In closing his first letter to the saints in Corinth—Paul offers 5 admonitions.
Thus, the lesson today is thus called, “Five Admonitions”. They are 1. Watch, 2. Stand Fast in the Faith, 3. Be Brave 4. Be Strong, and 5. Let all that you do be done with love.
