Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 1 Corinthians 13 called the 'Love Chapter'?+

1 Corinthians 13 is called the 'Love Chapter' because it is Paul's most comprehensive and poetic definition of love in the entire Bible. The entire chapter focuses on describing the nature, characteristics, and supremacy of love over all other spiritual gifts and virtues.

What is the context of 1 Corinthians 13 in Paul's letter?+

1 Corinthians 13 appears between chapters 12 and 14, which discuss spiritual gifts. Paul uses the love chapter to show that while spiritual gifts like prophecy, tongues, and knowledge are important, love is the greatest virtue that should motivate and govern the use of all gifts in the church community.

Is the love described in 1 Corinthians 13 the same as romantic love?+

No. The love Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 13 is agape (Greek for selfless, unconditional love), not romantic love (eros). This is love as a virtue, a deliberate choice to act with patience, kindness, forgiveness, and selflessness toward all people, regardless of personal feelings or circumstances.
