1 One of the most beloved set of verses in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13:1-8. It is known and quoted by many people. It is widely read in wedding ceremonies. It is used in many sermons. Yet most people do not know the context of this set of verses. Let’s take a look at the context. In 1 Corinthians 12-14, Paul writes to the Corinthian church concerning spiritual gifts, especially tongues. The Corinthian church became consumed with the gift of tongues, which was the ability to speak in the earthly languages of other people for the purpose of sharing the good news about Jesus with unbelievers. |
