PROFOUND LOVE
Paul’s understanding of love involved seeing it in the form of a concept. This concept was well described in the famous 1 Corinthians text.
Love suffers long and is kind;
Love does not envy;
Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
Does not behave rudely,
Does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Does not rejoice in iniquity,
But rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails…
1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8
