Focused on the Historical Event



1 Corinthians 13:4–7 
13:4–7 Then Paul Shows the Way of Love in the World
This is a practical definition of love in the daily routine of life. Note how these descriptions relate to the Corinthians’ problems: jealousy (3:3); bragging (4:7); arrogance (4:6); seeking their own (10:24); taking wrong into account (6:7); rejoicing in unrighteousness (5:2).

In the exercise of spiritual gifts, it is necessary to understand their place in relationship to God’s priorities. Christ’s new commandment (John 13:34–35) is to love one another. Christian love is preeminent, permanent, and most noble. The spiritual gifts are subordinate to love.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
