DAY 315

The Greatest of These Is Love

1 Corinthians 13:13
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις, ἐλπίς, ἀγάπη, τὰ τρία ταῦτα· μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη.
📜 THE VERSE

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Am I letting my faith and hope, in the end, flow into love?

📝Reflection

At the close of the love chapter, Paul leaves three things: faith, hope, and love. The first two are fundamental human powers—trust and waiting—yet he calls love the greatest. Why? Because faith and hope hold me up, but love reaches beyond me to another. It is the insight that flowing out to others is greater than shoring up oneself. This is human language before it is religious language. In the end, a person's size is measured by how far they let their love flow.
