LOVE IN ALL THINGS

IN ALL THINGS part 5

January 31, 2021

1 Corinthians 12:31-13:1-8—But desire the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way.

1 If I speak human or angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant, 5 is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs. 6 Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. 7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends.

1 Corinthians 13:13—Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love—but the greatest of these is love.
