Study Notes
Nature of Love
- Love is fundamental; without it, individuals are reduced to nothing (1 Corinthians 13:2).
- Speak in tongues without love turns the speaker into mere noise, like a resounding gong or clanging cymbal.
- Deep knowledge or understanding, if not accompanied by love, amounts to nothing.
Actions and Attitudes of Love
- Love is generous; one can give everything to the poor, but it lacks value without love.
- Key attributes of love include patience, kindness, and a lack of envy and boasting (1 Corinthians 13:4).
- Love does not dishonor, seek itself, become easily angered, or keep a record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:5).
Triumph and Perseverance of Love
- Love does not rejoice in evil but finds joy in truth (1 Corinthians 13:6).
- Love is characterized by protection, trust, hope, and perseverance (1 Corinthians 13:7).
- Unlike knowledge, which will ultimately fade, love endures forever (1 Corinthians 13:8).
Temporal vs Eternal
- Tongues will cease; love remains everlasting.
- Love’s essence never fails, contrasting with the transitory nature of gifts and talents.
Growth and Maturity
- As one matures, they leave behind childish ways (1 Corinthians 13:11).
- Paul communicates that understanding deepens with maturity; we can only see a reflection of truth now, as through a mirror (1 Corinthians 13:12).
Core Remaining Virtues
- In the end, three virtues remain: faith, hope, and love (1 Corinthians 13:13).
- Love surpasses all; it is the greatest of these virtues.
