Stand Firm in Faith and Love

1 Corinthians 16:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 16 in context

Scripture Focus

13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14Let all your things be done with charity.
15I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
1 Corinthians 16:13-16

Biblical Context

The passage urges watchfulness, steadfast faith, strength, and love, while honoring and submitting to those who labor in the saints' service.

Neville's Inner Vision

To watch ye is to attend to the living I AM within you. Stand fast in the faith means refuse the oscillations of fear and remember that your consciousness already contains the completed state you seek. Quit you like men, be strong, is your invitation to act from a matured inner conviction, not from appearances. When you declare that all things are done with charity, you align your inner atmosphere with love, and your world bends to reflect that inner motive. The house of Stephanas and those who labor with the saints represent the fellowship of reliable inner faculties—your disciplined thoughts, prayers, and creative powers—that have pledged themselves to the ministry of the saints inside you. Submit yourselves unto such and to every one that helps with us, means yield to the faithful collaborators within your mind who labor to bring forth harmony, service, and uplift. Your faith is not a plea but a state to be maintained by revision, feeling, and consistent imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the state of the steadfast worker in your inner church; repeat, 'I stand fast in the I AM, and all my acts are done in charity.' Then visualize a circle of faithful helpers laboring with you in love, and feel your inner strength align with them.
