The maranatha invocation “Our Lord, come” (1 Cor. 16:22; see also Rev. 22:20; Did. 10.6) provides evidence that Aramaic-speaking Christians called Jesus “Lord” either as an invocation of his presence in worship or as a prayer-appeal for his return. That Paul does not translate this Aramaic phrase in a letter addressed to Greek-speaking Christians in Corinth indicates it was already an accepted feature of Christian liturgy and practice. David Capes
