  • 1 Corinthians
    What preacher is more important
    Chapter 5 - sexual immorality
    Chapter 6 - going to the law with unbelievers
    Chapters 12-14 - discussion of spiritual gifts
    1 Corinthians 12:13 ESV
    For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
    1 Corinthians 12:20 ESV
    As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.
    1 Cor 13 Paul talks about the gift or attribute that is amongst the most important - LOVE
    1 Corinthians 12:31 ESV
    But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
    1 Corinthians 13:1–13 ESV
    If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
    Tongues, prophetic powers, faith, the ability to give, miraculous knowledge - Nothing if you do not have love.
    John 14:15 ESV
    “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

    2 Peter 3:9 ESV
    The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
