1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Dear brethren,
Good Monday Morning!
I would suspect that most Christians have that one favorite Bible passage they like to read. For many Christians, one such favorite passage could be 1 Corinthians 13.
1 Corinthians 13 is a treasure chest filled with instructions regarding love. The first three verses show us that no matter what we do in life, if we do not have love, our actions are basically without meaning. Verses 4 - 8 show us the quality and characteristics of love. Verses 9 - 12 simply build upon the second half of verse 8. Verse 13 teaches us that of faith, hope, and love, the greatest is love.
As you travel your journey for today, give thought to your life and the quality of love you have for other people. Let us not be distracted by whether or not others love us. Let us keep our focus on our love for others.
Here is 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 presented for your consideration.
1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
In Love,
John Duvall
