Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 13:1

1 COR. 13Barclay said, "For many, this is the most wonderful chapter in the New Testament";[1] but as McGarvey said, "It has been admired by all ages, but, unfortunately, practiced by none!"[2] A sample of the marvelous praise which has been heaped upon this chapter is the following:It is a glorious hymn or paean in honor of Christian love, in which St. Paul rises on the wings of inspiration to the most sunlit heights of Christian eloquence. Like Psalms 45, it may be entitled "A Psalm of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 13:2

And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.Prophecy ... knowledge ... faith so as to move mountains ... These are to be added to "tongues" mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13:1, all of them being miraculous gifts which had caused so much trouble at Corinth.All faith ... Although this refers to a miraculous gift, faith is never to be viewed as appearing in various varieties, being of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 13:3

"The Greek word here means to feed others by giving them morsels of food,"[11] giving the meaning of giving away all the giver's property a little bit at a time so as to reach the greatest possible number.My body to be burned ... Coining as it did before the savage persecutions in which Christians were burned for their faith, this is surprising,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 13:4

Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.Patient endurance and active good are qualities of love. Paul enumerated fifteen qualities of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; but this is far from being a methodical dissertation on love as an abstract subject. The qualities cited here have the utility of contrasting with the extraordinary gifts so coveted at Corinth; and they are presented here as exactly opposed to the characteristic of the puffed-up... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 13:5

Does not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.The true meaning of all of these qualities is seen in their opposites as cited by Hodge (under 1 Corinthians 13:4).Seeketh not its own ... Barclay rendered this "Love does not insist upon its rights."[14] He also stated that "It would be the key to almost... read more
