DAY 304
Without Love, I Am Nothing
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
κἂν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι.
📜 THE VERSE
Though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, but have no love, I am nothing.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
I labor to know more—but how much have I grown in the power to love?
📝Reflection
Knowledge seems to make a person large, but knowledge without love hollows a person out instead. Paul says flatly that one who knows everything, yet has no love, "is nothing." This is not a demand for humility but a cold weighing of worth. As a vessel with no bottom is never filled however much you pour, knowing without loving fills neither oneself nor others. Knowledge is only a tool; the heart that holds it decides the person.

If today you used what you know to win over someone, try turning that same knowledge toward helping them instead.
