“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”
King James Version (KJV)

Love our children, tell them you love them! As well as all man kind!! Tell them from the most deepest part of your soul, that they are your world! we all are sinners in one form or fashion, for what ever reasons that you sinned, tell them how much you love them and how sorry that youyou are make no excuses for your sins but own up take responsibility for your own actions and hope and pray they may one day understand that if your sins were done out of love and protection but was possibly done incorrectly and that you were ignorance on your ways of the message that you were trying to give them. And just pray that they can somehow find a wayto understand that you at have sent the message of love incorrectly but you were trying so very hard to tell them they are and will always be your world and that you live for them always and forever!!

but the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace forbearance kindness longsuffering goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control righteousness meekness temperance against such things there is no law let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations he that conquers will by no means be harmed by the second death happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection over these the second death has no authority but they will be priests of GOD and of the CHRIST and will rule as KINGS with HIM for the thousand years and Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire this means the second Death the lake of fire further more whoever was not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE was hurled into the LAKE OF FIRE BUT AS FOR THE COWARDS AND THOSE WITHOUT FAITH AND THOSE WHO ARE DISGUSTING IN THERE FILTH AND MURDERERS AND FORNICATORS AND THOSE PRACTICING SPIRITISM AND IDOLATERS AND ALL THE LIARS THEIR PORTION WILL BE IN THE LAKE THAT BURNS WITH SULPHUR THIS MEANS THE SECOND DEATH

I think that what 1 Cor. is saying is that if we don 't have love we can not be a light.

This is unconditional love. We placed much of this chapter in the program for my Mother 's passing celebration on Dec. 6. This verse speaks the story of her life. AMEN.

I tell Jesus that I love him many time a day, but my words mean nothing. I may tell people that I am a Christian, again my words mean nothing. But only by my works that I am known.
Ele, Stephen's comment on 2014-07-15 15:07:04:
from the biblical point of view, God is love and his word is love and the word was made flesh,and dwelt among us the word is Jesus therefore, what Paul is saying even though we have these gifts without Jesus is in vain because the gift of God is without repentance. 3Jon3vs1 said behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.The love, God bestow on us, was Jesus and any one that have Jesus and allowed Jesus to control his will that person exibit true love. 1cor13vs3 and though i bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though i give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profited me nothing. The early chruch experience this true love and was able to express it because of the sincenlity of their heart.Acts2vs1b they were all with one accord.

Tina's comment on 2013-12-19 07:18:50:
I have heard it said that Jesus is love..and still some people didnt want to hear what He had to say, do to their interpretation of love. I have heard it said that Jesus looks at our hearts and that of our motive for our actions. Thats what He will judge us on and not our words...expressing how we love. As the scripture reads (If he spoke not only with the tongues of men, but even those of angels, it would be, without love, [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. An empty sound) So...based on this I believe its a heart matter and God is the only one that can see into our hearts. We can remain bitter, hateful or what ever and try pass ourselves off to others as saved and sanctified...but GOD is not mocked!!! He knows the truth!! what is hidden in our dark hearts.

Its the way that God has commanded his children to behove themselves of.
Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-07-04 07:08:18:
Charity and Love are the same. There are three types of Love: Friendship, Eros, and Agape. We must have unconditional love as Christians for this is the Love that the Lord Jesus Christ has for us. God commended His love for us, in that while we were sinners Christ died for us. That is Agape love, and it allows us to love the sinner, while hating the sin. When Jesus said a new commandment I give unto you that you love one another, as I have loved you. We will win others to Christ when they see the love that we have one for the other. Love covers a multitude of sins. Love believes all things, bears all things, and hopes all things. Love never fails. So love one another, for love is of God. Here by know we have p***ed from death, unto life, when we love the brothers.

what is the bible difference between the word "charity and the word Love?
Lockard's comment on 2013-03-17 12:08:58:
@Kim,
First of all, if a person has a mean spirit, he or she is not a Christian. There is no such thing as a mean spirited Christian. I think the verse means no matter how holy we say or think we are we are nothing, if we don't have the true love of God in our heart.

In this day and time with all the meaningless things going on, it would be good to get back to the Bible and realize how important love really is.
Vico's comment on 2011-08-01 08:26:37:
Are the mentioned tongues existing tongues of human being? Or does the verse suggests that a human being can speak Angel's togue which is not understood by the speaker himself and by the listeners?
Kim's comment on 2011-05-23 09:02:28:
This is a verse many believers need to understand better. While it is important for us to tell people the truth about hell, we need to do it in love. There's alot of mean spirited Christians out there and that troubles me.
