Sinful human love can be a mushy and malleable concept. Like playdough, people try to reshape love into a lot of different things, forms that make us happy or satisfy our needs or desires. But in 1 Corinthians 13, Paul makes clear: love has a definitive shape. The apostle draws its contours and forms its features in these verses with unparalleled precision. And when he’s done, it becomes clear: It is for a love such as this that God has raised us up in Christ!
