Speaking in tongues
The human body is a reminder of different roles in the body for different things - all are needed, none can be discarded.
Ch 13
Love affects all things - it is the greatest of faith, hope & love. It affects the way we behave.
It never fails - it is the way of 'adulthood' in the Christian life. It is to be a significant part of my life - evident in all things.
v4-7
LOVE:
Patient
Kind
Doesn't envy
Doesn't boast
Not proud
Not rude
Not self-seeking
Not easily angered
No record of wrongs
Doesn't delight in evil
Rejoices in the truth
Always protects
Always trusts
Always hopes
Always perseveres
Never fails
Ch 14
Order was of utmost importance within the church. God is to be at the centre of all things. Paul argues both these throughout ch 14.
Paul talks of the gift of tongues being for the unbeliever, not the believer - even then, it was to be translated.
