Excellence of Love (1 Corinthians 13)1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels‚ but do not have love‚ I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy‚ and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith‚ so as to remove mountains‚ but do not have love‚ I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor‚ and if I surrender my body to be burned‚ but do not have love‚ it profits me nothing. 4 Love is patient‚ love is kind and is

am here to discuss the bible passage 1 Corinthians 13:1-13‚ its meaning and how it is relatable to today’s society. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 is part of the first of a series of letters written by St Paul to the Corinthian church to correct and restore the weaknesses within the church‚ to correct misteaching of the resurrection and was a response to queries from Corinthian Christians asking for advice. Because we have no access to the questions that the Corinthian Christians were asking Paul it is similar

Andrew Retzer Mr. Morgan Bible III‚ per. 4 May 16‚ 2010 Exegesis of 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Paul shows the Corinthians the way of God with Israel in the wilderness‚ as instruction with regard to His way with us‚ telling the Corinthians that the things which happened to them were types or figures which serve as patterns for us. This is an important principle‚ and one that should be clearly understood‚ in order to benefit from it. It is not Israel who is the figure‚ but what had happened to Israel

In Chapter 13 of Corinthians Paul talked about spiritual gifts. Then in Chapter 13‚ he continues to write and talk about love. After reading verses 4-7‚ my eyes were opened. I observed that Paul was saying‚ spiritual gifts‚ talents‚ and riches are all good. But‚ if it doesn’t show or have love it is considered worthless. That’s how important love is portrayed per Paul. Out of all the many gifts God has given us‚ love lasts forever. Not just love‚ but faith and hope. However‚ with all those gifts

His letter was written from Ephesus before the time of Pentecost.1 We know Paul is the author because it is stated twice with the letter‚ both in 1 Cor 1:1 and 1 Cor 16:21. However‚ it is probably not the first letter Paul wrote to the Corinthian church. In chapter 5 verse 9 he refers to a letter he has previously written. We do not have a copy of this letter. Paul first went to Corinth‚ the chief

1 Corinthians Reflection Project “Reason must be deluded‚ blinded‚ and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason‚ sense‚ and understanding‚ and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.” Martin Luther had great insight and encouragement knowing the sheer fact that the war between the world and the cross would be an on going battle. In 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 God pronounced the foolishness of the cross. This paragraph begins in 1:18 with a thematic

Paul is the author of 1 Corinthians‚ which can be found in Chapter one‚ verse one and chapter sixteen verse twenty-one. Paul wrote 1 Corinthian in Ephesus‚ near the end of his three-year ministry. 1 Corinthians is a blunt discussion about the Church and the issues that concern the Corinthian church. The Corinthian congregation was tarnished with sin on various sides‚ therefore‚ Paul gave them an essential model‚ in order for them to learn how the church should take care of the issues and problems

In Corinthians 15:13-14‚ Paul the Apostle says “If there is no resurrection of the dead‚ then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised‚ our preaching is useless and so is your faith (Holy Bible). Before verse 13‚ Paul continues if it is preached that Christ is raised from the dead‚ then how can some people say there is no resurrection of the dead. Because if that is the case‚ then Jesus has not been raised from the dead and our faith is worthless (Holy Bible). If Jesus Christ

The Apostle Paul’s 1 Corinthians 13 Love can be a powerful overwhelming emotion that can lead to ones bliss or ones tragedy. Shakespeare’s Othello and Paul’s 1 Corinthians 13 main idea is centered on love. Even though both texts share a similar main idea they contrast on the view of love. Paul’s biblical passage is more of a guide line for Christians than a romantic passage. Othello is of a romantic tale that ends in tragedy because of jealousy and betrayal. The biblical love Paul describes is
