One of the places this word is found is\u00a01 Corinthians 16:22, where, at the end of his letter, Paul writes this: &#8220;If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On first glance, this sounds like a rather harsh statement, even coming from Paul.<strong> Is Paul really pronouncing a death wish on all who are not Christians and do not love Jesus?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Such a sentiment seems so unlike Paul, and yet of all the words in 1 Corinthians, these are among those he claims to have penned himself (1 Cor 16:21). The rest of the letter was dictated to a scribe (or amanuensis).<\/p>\n<h2>So what is Paul saying in 1 Corinthians 16:22?<\/h2>\n<p>It is the final word of this statement in 1 Corinthians 16:22 that helps sort out Paul\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<p>In English, it says \u201cO Lord, come!\u201d but the Greek is <em>maranatha <\/em>(which is actually Aramaic)<em>. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The final two words of this verse sound like this: <em>anathema maranatha. <\/em>You can very clearly hear the repeated sound of <em>anatha <\/em>in both words. And of course, one word ends with <em>ma <\/em>while the other begins with <em>ma. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>So what we have in 1 Corinthians 16:22 is a typical Pauline play on words. Paul, more than any other New Testament author, loved to make theological points through word play.<\/p>\n<p>In Philemon, for example, Paul uses the words <em>achr\u0113ston <\/em>(useless) and <em>euchr\u0113ston <\/em>(useful) as a way of making a point about Onesimus (whose name means \u201cUseful\u201d) and his relation to Paul and Philemon in Christ (<em>Christos<\/em>).<\/p>\n<h2>A play on words helps us understand 1 Corinthians 16:22<\/h2>\n<p>Paul knows that some of the Christians in Corinth have been saying that Jesus was accursed (We we discussed previously in <a href=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/1-corinthians-12-3-true-christian\/\">our discussion of 1 Corinthians 12:3<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-small wp-image-46713 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1cor_16__22-300x388.jpg\" alt=\"1 Corinthians 16:22\" width=\"300\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1cor_16__22-300x388.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1cor_16__22-441x570.jpg 441w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1cor_16__22-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1cor_16__22.jpg 786w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>So he now makes the ironic and pun-filled statement that we have a choice between <em>anathema <\/em>and <em>maranatha. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>One can either look eagerly for the Lord\u2019s coming, <em>maranatha, <\/em>and so reveal their love for Jesus Christ, or one can believe that Jesus was <em>anathema, <\/em>and therefore want nothing to do with Him and so be <em>anathema <\/em>themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Those are the choices which Paul masterfully, ironically, and playfully lays out here at the end of this letter to the Corinthian church.<\/p>\n<p>But even still, being\u00a0<em>anathema\u00a0<\/em>is not about being cursed to hell. That is not what the word means.
