1 Corinthians 13:
Any spiritual gift
(wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, powers, prophecy, distinguishing spirits,
speaking in tongues, and interpreting tongues) without love is meaningless. Love
is always meek and respectful. Love perseveres, trusts, hopes, and
rejoices in truth rather than evil. Love never fails and it last forever.
Knowledge, prophesies, and tongues may pass away, but never love. The
three great gifts that never cease are faith, hope, and love, but love is the
greatest spiritual gift of all.
1 Corinthians 14:
Follow love and desire
spiritual gifts, especially prophesy. The one who speak in tongues
speak only to God in mysteries from his spirit, but he that prophesies
strengthens, encourages, and comforts the humans that hears him. Tongues
edifies the individual except it is interpreted, while prophesy edifies the
church. So desire the gifts that edifies the church. Isaiah
prophesized that God will even speak to the Jews in strange tongues and through
Gentiles, but the Jews will still reject God. Tongues are for
unbeliever, but prophecy is for believers. There must be an interpreter for
every tongue spoken or he than speak in tongues should be quiet.
Prophesize in turns and not in competition, so that the church is edified.
When a second prophet gets a revelation, the first should respectfully stop.
God is ordered and peaceful. Women should not speak in church because it is
disgraceful.

1 Corinthians 15:
Believing the gospel of Jesus
is what saves if you hold on to it. The gospel is that Jesus died for
our sins according to the old scriptures, was buried, was raised on the third
day, and appeared to the apostle and over 500 others, some of who are still
alive. Jesus also appeared to James (his brother) and Paul. Paul
claims to be the least of the apostles because he once persecuted the
church, but God saved him by grace. Our faith is on the resurrection of
the dead of Jesus. If Christ did not resurrect, then we are false prophets
still living in sin. Death came through Adam, but resurrection comes
through Christ. The last enemy is death and Christ has now put everything
under his feet. Baptism is the death, burial, and resurrection of
Jesus, so baptism is in vain if there is no resurrection of Jesus. Our
body changes into an imperishable spiritual body after we resurrect from death
just as a seed died before it becomes a tree. Flesh and blood can not
inherit the kingdom of God, only the spiritual body.
