Maybe give someone a side-hug at church today? It is imperative.

With emphasis on the word, “holy,”

and understanding that cultural mores are different,

and bearing in mind Ephesians 5:3 –

. . . Notice that these verses are in the imperative mood, thereby making them non-optional.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.(Ro 16:16).

All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.(1 Co 16:20).

Greet one another with a holy kiss.(2 Co 13:12).

Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.(1 Th 5:26).

Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.(1 Pe 5:14).

  2. I remember looking up those verses at youth group and church camp. Too bad we didn’t know about the imperative mood!
