Right after finishing discussion of the spiritual gifts, in 1 Cor 12, Paul says that you could have all of the gifts in the world but without Love, they are meaningless. Of the three most important attributes of a Christian (faith, hope, and love), love is the greatest.
Love is:
- patient
- kind
- does not envy
- does not boast
- is not proud
- does not dishonor others
- is not self-seeking
- is not easily angered
- keeps no record of wrongs
- does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
- always protects
- always trusts
- always hopes
- Always perseveres
