1Co 16:22 If there is anyone who does not love the Lord,

Maran atha means:

Our Lord Has Come

The words in this 1 Corinthians section are very similar to Revelation 22:18-21 being the last words of the bible:
Rev 22:18 This is my solemn attestation
to all who hear the prophecies in this book:
if anyone adds anything to them,
God will add to him every plague mentioned in the book;
19 if anyone cuts anything out of the prophecies in this book,
God will cut off his share of the tree of life
and of the holy city, which are described in the book.
20 The one who attests these things says:
I am indeed coming soon. Amen;
come, Lord Jesus.
21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
Amen.

Prayer

Jesus, I thank You for Saint Paul who wrote this beautiful letter.
