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.
