📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the kiss was a common greeting in the Greco-Roman world, used among friends and family to express affection, respect, and social bonds. Paul wrote this instruction to the Corinthian church in his second letter to encourage unity and purity among believers, as the early Christian communities faced divisions and external pressures. This holy kiss symbolized a sacred expression of brotherly love in Christ, distinguishing it from secular customs.
