The Balanced Spirit--Filled Church: Overview of 1 Corinthians 12-14

2.) Without love its just noise

1 Corinthians 13:1 (NASB) 1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

1 Corinthians 13:1 (NLT) 1If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn’t love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal.

3.) Without love it’s meaningless

1 Corinthians 13:2 (ASB) 2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 

4.) Without love there is no benefit

1 Corinthians 13:3 (ASB) 3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:13—14:1a (NIV) 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts . . .
