1 Corinthians 13 · Grade 4

Love Never Fails

Name Date

Read and Think

The Corinthians valued impressive gifts, especially speaking in other languages. Paul says that without love, even speaking with the languages of angels is only noise. Prophecy, knowledge, great faith, and even sacrifice profit nothing without love.

Paul then describes what love does. Love is patient and kind. It does not envy, brag, or act proud. It is not rude or selfish and is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. It does not rejoice in wrong but rejoices with the truth. Love bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things.

Paul says love never fails. Gifts like prophecy and knowledge are partial and will one day pass away. Like a child growing into an adult, believers will one day put away partial things. Now they see dimly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. Faith, hope, and love remain, and the greatest of these is love.
