How does this interpret into your society ?
Where I come from it best interprets into greeting most Christians with a 'holy hand-shake' and maybe a 'holy hug' to Christians of the same sex who we know quite well. It is determined by what is the cultural norm of greeting others (in Corinth at that time it was similar to French culture today where kissing on the cheek is a usual form of greeting). The key here is that the normal form of greeting must be made 'holy' (separate from immoral thoughts and hidden motives
).
