1 Corinthians 13

Paul now tells the Corinthians what really makes community work: love. Everything else is just a bunch of noise without love. Love is about the other person, not about "me." Love is a strategy for loving and not based simply on feelings, which come and go. Love was missing from the contentious Corinthian church and it is missing from a lot of our lives. Love means to "grow up" and think about others. Selfishness is the opposite of love. How many of the world's evils would disappear if we all actually practiced love? It's all about love.
