What 1 Corinthians 13:13 means
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Of all the things that last, love is the greatest, outlasting even faith and hope, which one day give way to sight. A life measured by love is a life invested in the one thing that will never become obsolete.
