Wyatt Graham has a thoughful piece at his blog, asking the interpretive question: “What Does Paul Mean When He Says, ‘Act Like Men’?”
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”
1 Cor 16:13
After examining the underlying Greek word according to a lexicon, and then its use in other ancient literature, Graham walks through the literary context of the last few chapter chapter of 1 Corinthians. Then he explores the biblical context that Paul taps into through allusion to the psalms.
This is vibrant, rich, contextual observation and interpretation, which I eagerly commend to you.
