What would you say if your child asked you, “What is love?” There are as many answers as there are people in the world, but God’s Word gives us a standard to measure our definitions against. In one of the most famous chapters in the Bible, Paul explains what love is and what it isn’t. You can help your kids commit this beautiful definition of love to heart with this FREE I Corinthians 13 Copywork.
Jesus said that loving God with all that we are and loving our neighbor like we love ourselves are the two greatest commandments. He said that all the law and prophets hang on these two commands. (Matthew 22:36-40) But what is love? This FREE I Corinthians 13 Copywork helps answer this question with the passage from the King James Version of the Bible.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
