Contextual Overview

¹³Stay alert and keep both feet deep in the stirrups. Tie hard and fast to your faith. Be courageous and be strong. ¹⁴Do nothing without love. ¹⁵I hope you have heard of Stephanus and his family. They were among the first cowboys to ride for the Lord in Greece. They have devoted their lives in service of God's people. I urge y'all ¹⁶to follow their example and their leadership. Such devoted cowboys and cowgirls are rare. ¹⁷It is of my good fortune that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus are here. I wish y'all were too, but they have helped fill the gap. ¹⁸They've done nothing except offer me encouragement and they do the same for y'all. If y'all don't see the value in cowboys such as these, then y'all are blind.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let all your things be done with charity. Signifying, that the whole of their obedience to Christ, their observation of, and subjection to all his ordinances and commands, should spring from, and be done in love to him; and that the whole of their conduct and behaviour towards one another ought to be with charity, which bears all things, and covers a multitude of sins; and that all their church affairs, their business at church meetings, should be transacted, not with strife and vain glory, but in peace, and with mutual affection, with a concern for the good of each other, and of the whole body, and for the glory of God; for without charity or love, and the exercise of this grace, it signifies little what men either have or do; and such an exhortation was the more necessary to this church, since it was so full of factions, contentions, and divisions.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let all your things ... - All that you do. This direction is repeated on account of its great importance, and because it is a summing up of all that he had said in this Epistle; see 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; 1 Corinthians 14:1. Here he says, that charity, or love, was to regulate all that they did. This was a simple rule; and if this was observed, every thing would be done well.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Corinthians 16:14. Let all your things be done with charity. — Let love to God, to man, and to one another, be the motive of all your conduct.
