Today, Paul shows the “more excellent way” of which he wrote in chapter 12:31: Love!
It is all about love. Not just any romantic, fleeting, or selfish love—but love as God intends it: patient, kind, not envious, not arrogant, not self-seeking. A love that does not give up. A love that bears with others. A love that forgives. A love that remains.
Paul says: Without this love, everything else is meaningless. Even the greatest spiritual gifts—prophecy, faith, knowledge—are like a clanging cymbal without love. And even heroic sacrifice amounts to nothing if it is not motivated by love.
For Reflection:
The text speaks for itself—in all its poetry and clarity, loud and clear. Just let it sink in.

About this Plan
Corinth was a major port city in ancient Greece—a center of commerce, religious diversity, and known for loose living. Precisely there, a young church was growing, learning to live out their faith in a secular environment. Many issues they faced remain relevant today. In this reading plan, you'll see how Paul addresses the early believers’ challenges and shows what it means to live as a church, strengthen one another, and use the Spirit’s gifts. It’s about genuine love, handling conflict, the power of the resurrection, and how faith in Christ can transform everyday life.
