Explain 1 Corinthians 13-17

Answer 1

1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Answer 2

1 Corinthians 13-17 is not a specific verse or passage in The Bible. If you meant 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, it talks about the attributes of love, describing love as patient, kind, not envious or boastful, not proud or rude, not self-seeking, not easily angered, and keeping no record of wrongs. It is a well-known passage often read at weddings to highlight the importance of love in relationships.

Answer 3

1 Corinthians 13 is the "love" chapter. It is meant to explain and define God's love for us, and how we should love each other.

Answer 4

Prophecies are childish things and will all fail.

Answer 5

I am sorry the chapter has only 14 verses and not 17.
