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
When we renew our Wedding Vows in March 2021 (or 2022) with 100 guests ANGELA & I will have *TRUE LOVE* as our first WALTZ at our DISCO after the Wedding Breakfast. WE sure have a Guardian Angel who brought US together & keeps our LOVE forever TRUE !

Good write A&B.
I dread to think how The Message has modernised this. I dare not look. Probably murdered the language - or marmalised it - good word there! Ken Dodd used it! lol.
Thanks Uncle Steve ~ I guess you approve of our PARAPHRASE it was based on the AV ! Brian & I base our True Love Relationshipon the Principles of 1 Corinthians 13 ~ AMEN
Blessings to YOU and YOUR Law Abiding Labrador !

Oooops sorry Steve we sent a comment instead of a reply ~ please check POEM ~ Thanks ABC !!!
Good old Corinthians 1 :13 eh?
Thanks Dusk ~ Considering it in context ~ and the moral condition of the City he addressed it to ~ to US it is a very fine statement of what *TRUE LOVE* (especially in Marriage) should be all about ! We apply these principles in Our Marriage ! We know they will sustain US for the next 50 Years ~ Golden Wedding in 2070 ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Joy to You & Yours
