Love Never Fails

1 Corinthians 13:8
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε πίπτει.
📜 THE VERSE

Love never fails. Where there are prophecies, they will pass away; where there is knowledge, it will vanish—but love remains.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

After time has taken everything else, what will remain in me to the very end?

📝Reflection

Knowledge, talent, fame—all wear thin and scatter before time. I have watched the things I boasted of in youth slip from my hands one by one with age. At the end of that emptiness, Paul points to the one thing that does not fall: love. The Greek piptei means "to collapse," and that verb never attaches to love. Not what you achieved but whom you loved is what remains, to the very last, in a person's life.
