Importance of love – 13:1-3 Importance emphasized in 1 John 4:7-11, 2 Pet. 1:7,… Without love – our words are noise Tongues of men – languages Tongues of angels – perfect delivery & understanding

Importance of love – 13:1-3 Without love – our abilities are nothing Some spiritual gifts mentioned Prophecies – Gods messengers All mysteries and knowledge - If I have perfect understanding All faith Heb. 11:6, cf. Matt. 8:26, 14:31, etc.

Importance of love – 13:1-3 Without love – our works are worthless What if we gave up everything, including our lives? Without love, we are not saved! It is a waste!
