1 Corinthians 13 Part 5, ending of the 1st Corinthians and certainly a hot chapter regarding love: what it is and what it is not. We often talk about 613 mitzvos (commandments) and how intense and high calling these mitzvos is, and perhaps the joy that we derive for it. However, there are even more! Look into these chapters
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/nets/edition/
See for yourself, the amount of extra mitzvos and understand that these callings into the truth. Love / ahava / agape is not easy - at least not without the help of HaShem . We frequently box up the idea of love, and it becomes a thing heavily influenced by popular media, movies, TV, podcasts ;D , friends, and even family, but do we have these scriptural definitions down pack? If not, go back over these points of what a Agape is and isn’t through the link above, as well as listen over again to this podcast episode.


1 Corinthians 13 King James Version (KJV)13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.2 And 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.3 And 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.4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.8 Charity 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.9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.11 When 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.12 For 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.13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.


I’ve attached some notes below to help with your learning.

What AGAPE IS
suffereth long *
kind *
rejoiceth in truth
hopeth all things => steadfast during difficult times
beareth all things *
believeth all things => open mind/open heart --- thinking good of otghers
endureth all things => w/o weakening

What Agape IS NOT …. x9
envieth (be happy for others)
vaunteth itself (talking about itself, pride )
puffed up
behave unseemly *
seeketh her own
Rejoiceth in iniquity - people hurting others, or just doing things which aren't right (gluttony/going overboard with something like wine)
never faileth --- grace to continue

It's easy to love those who love us!

faith (divine revelation) VS hope (in a future felicity) VS agape (perfections of God )--- WINNER? AGAPE!
