History:
The Greek city of Corinth was
one of the most prosperous and technologically advanced cities of the Roman
Empire. When the apostle Paul wrote his first epistle to the Christians of
Corinth in AD57, he defined the problems facing the Church in the corrupting
environment of Corinth. In the later chapters he discussed the “spiritualities”
which would overcome those problems. In Chapter 13 he addresses love. This
analysis and resolution have drawn many readers to see in Paul’s letter, a
useful parallel between Corinth and the modern world.
“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or
arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; It is not irritable or
resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It
believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.”
