1 Corinthians 13:1, Have Not Charity
Here is shown the fundamental character of God that the Apostle Paul seeks to impart to the Corinthian Christians – charity is the goodness of God working out in love and benevolence. It is a love that is sacrificial, unconditional, that seeks to do the highest good for another person in the light of eternity. A love that was demonstrated in the life and death of Jesus Christ.
