Inner Grace and Unity

1 Corinthians 16:17-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 16 in context

Scripture Focus

17I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
20All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
21The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
23The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
1 Corinthians 16:17-24

Biblical Context

Paul thanks Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus for filling what was missing. Their arrival refreshes both his spirit and the community, inviting all to acknowledge such faithful supply.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Paul treats the visitors as inner states rather than external guests. Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus symbolize the replenishment your consciousness seeks when it has felt lack. By welcoming them as real in imagination, you refresh the whole mood of your mind and restore unity among its parts. To acknowledge such beings is to recognize the very states you wish to inhabit—gratitude, cooperation, and shared purpose—thereby drawing them into your lived experience. The greetings from Asia and Aquila and Priscilla point to the wider circle of your inner community; to greet one another in the Lord is to hold the feeling of oneness across every department of self. The Anathema Maranatha boundary invites you to renounce any belief that denies your Lord, the higher self, your sovereign I AM. End with the grace of Christ and the love of Paul's spirit, for you are held together in Christ Jesus, here and now, in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus stepping into your space, supplying what you felt was lacking. Revise the sense of lack by declaring I AM the supply and feeling the refreshment enter your spirit as you greet your inner community with unity.
