William Burkitt's Expository Notes

1 Corinthians 16:23

Observe here, Our apostle's valediction; it is. benediction. He takes his farewell of them with prayer for them: The grace, or gracious favour, of Christ be with you, and multiply all blessings, both spiritual and temporal, upon you;. am sure. love you all in Christ Jesus, and for his sake.

Happy is it when ministers can take their farewell of their flocks in this manner, with fervent supplication for them, and with solemn, yet serious, protestations of the fervency of their love, and the ardency of their affection towards them. Amen.
