Test yourselves (13:5–13) Final prayer (13:14) By this prayer, Paul is reminding the Corinthians that their ‘mending’ does not lie within themselves but with the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the Spirit’s fellowship. The grace of Christ removes aggressiveness, the love of God dispels jealousy, and the fellowship created by the Spirit destroys bitterness. As God answers that prayer, the problems so manifest in Corinth and in every troubled church will be overcome.

Paul’s ‘thorn’ (12:1–10) Like the Lord in Gethsemane, who prayed more than once, Paul prayed thrice (verse 8), but to no avail. It was now a matter of submitting to the will of God as he unfolded it.
