1Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol.

Paul writes to the Corinthians about all of the awesome gifts of the Holy Spirit that they might experience, and the wonders of that spirit-filled life. No matter what the gifts are, though, love must be the foundation of all. Without love, he says, all ministry and teaching and preaching and singing and speaking is lost. They are worthless unless the love is in them.
