NASB | 1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 13:1 ¶ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. |
Subject: Love other than Agape, conditional? |
Bible Note: The definition I understand of Agape is the kind of love that says I will love you whether you ever love me or not. I swear even to my own hurt to love you and will give up my life to prove it. Agape love is an act of the will, a covenant from which there is no retreat and that leaves no room for debate. 1John 4:15-18 states God is love.In John 17:23,26 shotly before Jesus went to the cross He prayed that the world may know that you sent me and have loved them as you have loved me. So the choice is yours to partake of His covenant of love or stay on the outside and go straight to hell- either way God will love you. |
