1 Corinthians 13:3
_ _ bestow ... goods ... poor — literally, “dole out in food” all my goods; one of the highest functions of the “helps” (1 Corinthians 12:28).
_ _ give ... body to be burned — literally, “to such a degree as that I should be burned.” As the three youths did (Daniel 3:28), “yielded their bodies” (compare 2 Corinthians 12:15). These are most noble exemplifications of love in giving and in suffering. Yet they may be without love; in which case the “goods” and “body” are given, but not the soul, which is the sphere of love. Without the soul God rejects all else, and so rejects the man, who is therefore “profited” nothing (Matthew 16:26; Luke 9:23-25). Men will fight for Christianity, and die for Christianity, but not live in its spirit, which is love. |
1 Corinthians 13:3
And though I — Deliberately, piece by piece. Give all my goods to feed the poor, yea, though I deliver up my body to be burned — Rather than I would renounce my religion. And have not the love — Hereafter described. It profiteth me nothing — Without this, whatever I speak, whatever I have, whatever I know, whatever I do, whatever I suffer, is nothing. |
