Love… does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self- seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 1 Corinthians 13:4b-6
Elsewhere In 1 Corinthians…
For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? (3:3) Some of you have become arrogant… (4:18) Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? (5:6)
No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. (10:24) So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. (11:20-21)
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” (15:33)
When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am. No one, then, should treat him with contempt. (16:10-11a)
Do everything in love. (16:14)
Big Idea: Love
Applicational Questions

2. How is love revealed in my
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23a
3. What does love require me to

QUESTIONS For personal reflection or group discussion
1. Read 1 Corinthians 13:1-7. As you look at all the things love is NOT in verse 6, which of those do you struggle with most in relationships?
2. Read Romans 8:38,39, 1 John 3:1, Romans 5:8 and 1 John 4:19. What do these verses tell you about God’s love for you? How can soaking in God’s love for you help in the areas where you struggle to love others well?
3. Read Philippians 2:3-8. How does Jesus’ example stand in contrast to 1 Corinthians 13:6? How does Jesus’ example challenge you? How does it motivate and encourage you?
