==''Synopsis== :'' In [[First Corinthians]] we are told that love is patient and love is kind; that it does not envy, or boast and isn't proud; love isn't rude or self-seeking or easily angered; it doesn't keep a record of wrongs; love always protects, it always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres; it never fails. [[God]] has a character of complete love and he calls us to love like he does. ==Contents==

But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease.
