The Greatest Of These, VIII: Unselfishness

I Corinthians 13

October 29, 2023 • William A. Evertsberg • 1 Corinthians 13:5, John 3:1–18

All those translations get the point across, but they’re all negatives. They only tell us what Love is NOT. Let’s turn that negative into a positive: “Love is selfless,” or “Love is generous.” Paul doesn’t quite say this, but almost: it is impossible to be self-centered and loving at the same time. 


A loving person never celebrates a pinched and mean sufficiency, but always a lavish, overflowing extravagance.
