The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 13.1-3 Jobey McGinty The Corinthian church was looking at their personal giftings and place in society as a way of finding their identity, prominence, and value. But Paul says there is a much better way to find those things, and a much better way to use our gifts, and that is the way of love. We could be the most talented and gifted people in our community, but if we are not doing things out of love, it is nothing.
