A messy church, a patient apostle — and the greatest chapter on love ever written.
"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is ______."
The 'love chapter' read at countless weddings was written to a church in open conflict — 1 Corinthians 13 is a rebuke wearing a boutonnière.
Where modern Bibles say 'love,' the KJV says 'charity' — from the Latin caritas. Guess which word our players type wrong most often.
Corinth was a port city with a reputation so bad that 'to Corinthianize' meant to live scandalously. Paul planted a church there anyway and stayed eighteen months.
This letter contains the earliest written account of the resurrection appearances — Paul lists over five hundred witnesses, 'of whom the greater part remain unto this present.'
