1 Corinthians 13:3 About Giving 28 June 2024

1Co 13:3 Though I should give away to the poor
all that I possess,
and even give up my body to be burned
-- if I am without love,
it will do me no good whatever.

Excerpt from THE NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE, copyright (c) 1985 by Darton, Longman & Todd, Ltd. and Doubleday, a division of Penguin Random House, Inc. Reprinted by Permission. Giving is often a good thing.

Notice first that giving is mentioned among the greater gifts of Spirit.

Being Without Love

It is easy to give without love. I can even hurt others with giving when e.g. I show indifference. It is more blessed to give with love and with care for a person.

Prayer

Jesus, please talk when I hurt others with giving.
