From Paul's Letter To Corinthians

“If I give away everything I own so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.” In this verse from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, Paul gives an important message. Paul says to them if you do something just to get others approval and not because you actually care, then you gain nothing and it is a waste. If you can't do something with your heart then it's not worth doing at all. A kind action should not require recollection or anything in return, a kind act should come from your heart. Paul declares that the greatest expression of spirituality is love. The bible commentary says that neither tongues nor prophecy, knowledge or faith, nor even self sacrifice has value unless informed by love.

Paul converted an immense amount of gentiles despite his hardships. Paul faced imprisonment, he was often lashed, he was laughed at by some, and he was rejected by his own Jewish church. Despite all of this Paul persevered, Paul’s perseverance is something I look up too Paul for. Paul also new to have fun, he partied with the gentiles and ate meals with them. Paul was able to love everyone open heartedly. And was never afraid to spread the word of God. He was a conveyer of Jesus’ love all the way until his death at the hands of Nero. For these reasons this is why i think I can relate more to Paul than to
