Corinthians 13:1-8
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding
bronze, or a clanging cymbal. 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, and have not love, I am
nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed
the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,
it profited me nothing."
Love
suffereth long, and is kind, love envieth not;
love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not
behave itself unseemly, seeketh not it's own, is not
easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in
iniquity,
but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things,
believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things.
Love never faileth."
There
are thirteen things which describe the nature of
love. The first seven deal with our personality and
are
developed within the individual. They are the things
we
work on, things we can do with God's help, in our
Spiritual
growth. The last six of these things deal with acts of
ministries
the outward proof of the inward development
of love in
our lives.
This
passage is one of promise, as we develop inwardly
and apply outwardly these lessons of love we have the
promise of and the instruction as to how we may love
as
Jesus loved.
