A Lesson We Cannot Afford To Miss Paul reminded them of loves supreme importance. Prophecies and tongues would cease, while faith, hope and love would remain (1 Corinthians 13:8,13). But the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13). If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing (1 Corinthians 13:1-3). Miss the lesson of love, and you miss everything! Even your faith becomes a meaningless, cold corpse. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death (1 John 3:14). Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love (1 John 4:8).
