But it actually starts in 1st Corinthians 12:27
(27) "Now you are Christ's body, and individual members of it. (28) And God has appointed in the Church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
(29) All are not apostles are they? All are not workers of miracles are they?
(30) But earnestly desire the greater gifts.
And I will show you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY.
Chapter 13: 1-7 @ 13 The EXCELLENCE OF LOVE (A more excellent way)
(1) If I speak with the tongues of men and angels ,but do not have LOVE, I have become a noisy gong and a clanging cymbal.
(2) And if i have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and have all knowledge, and if I have all faith to move mountains, but DO NOT HAVE LOVE, I AM NOTHING.
(3) And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but do not have LOVE, it profits me nothing.
(4) Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; LOVE does not brag, and is not arrogant,
(5) does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek it's own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
(6) does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
(7) LOVE bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
(8) LOVE NEVER FAILS.
(13) But now ABIDE (To live in, and from), faith, hope and LOVE, these three, but the GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.
THOUGHTS??
ANY CONVERSATION??
