NOTE: Anathema Maranatha means: "Cursed Forever (ie, 'even until the Return of Our Lord')." This was a common term among the Jews in Paul's time for those who rejected God.
Thus, Maranatha, HERE, is NOT a postive invocation of God by Paul, but is ONLY to be taken with the capitalized word Anathema, to indicate that there is no hope to be saved outside of Christ's work on the cross ( Acts 7:12).
