PAUL OF TARSUS was an itinerant Preacher & Teacher in the Christian Church of thr FIRST CENTURY ! He wrote Spiritual Letters (Epistles) to the Churches He visited in Rome - Corinth - Ephesus etc ! Corinth was a very debauched and sinful City ! *To Play the Corinthian* meant a Person was living a debauched & sinful Life. To counteract this when Paul wrote to Corinth (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) he included THIS LOVE POEM in his First Letter. In a Modern Bible it appears as Chapter 13. Angelas Mother read it at our Wedding in March. Our POEM today is a paraphrase ~ AMEN Love Angela & Brian XOXOX
I can be ELOQUENT ~ but without LOVE ~ Im a tinkling CYMBAL
I can be SPIRITULLY GIFTED ~ but without LOVE ~ I am NOTHING
I can be a GIVER & a MARTYR ~ but without LOVE ~ I am USELESS
TRUE LOVE ~ Suffers PATIENTLY & is always KIND
TRUE LOVE ~ Is never ENVIOUS & is never PROUD
TRUE LOVE ~ Behaves with MODERATION & is GENTLE
TRUE LOVE ~ Loves the TRUTH & hates FALSEHOOD
TRUE LOVE ~ Bears - Believes - Hopes & Endures
TRUE LOVE ~ NEVER EVER FAILS ~ AMEN !
PROPHESIES will FAIL ~ TONGUES - CEASE ~ KNOWLEDGE VANISH
NOW ~ We see through a Dark Glass ~ but then FACE TO FACE
Once I thought like a CHILD ~ but NOW ~ I am thinking like a MAN
NOW abides these THREE ~ Pure FAITH ~ Perfect HOPE & True LOVE
BUT ~ the greatest of these will always be ~ TRUE LOVE ~ AMEN !
Thanks for visit ~ comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian XOXOX
