(remember these are just the thoughts I had when I had them.. the Part 1, part 2 whatever is days.. some verses I spent more days on then others. so part 1 could also read day 1)
1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
The 2nd week of this Bible study we looked at 1 Corinthians 13
Sometimes know as the love Chapter
In This God is telling us about the gifts that he has given, some of them he has taken away some of them still remains But be it the gifts that are no longer here or the ones that are, the greatest of all is Love and without love the rest of the gifts mean nothing.
Iron clad Truths in this chapter are one No matter what gift we might have if we don't have love we are nothing and our gifts means nothing. And two Love never fails. where others gifts have been taken away by God like the gifts of prophecies , or tongues and even knowledge will Fade. Love doesn't fade.
It is Love alone which gives ministry of gifts any value.
