Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians

Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians in which he says, “If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal,” and then he goes on to give his own definition of love. “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful. It is not arrogant or rude.” And then he says, “Love does not insist on its own way.” That’s the piece of love I want to get at today. “Love seeketh not her own,” saith the poetry of King James’ day. “Love does not insist on its own way.” “Love seeketh not her own.”
