1 Coríntios 13

Theodoret of Cyrus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

1 Coríntios 13:1

Paul chooses speaking in tongues as his example because the Corinthians thought that it was the greatest of the gifts. This was because it had been given to the apostles on the day of Pentecost, before any of the others. The tongues of angels are those which are perceived by the mind, not by the ear. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 251

1 Coríntios 13:6

Love hates what is unjust and rejoices in what is good and honorable. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 253

1 Coríntios 13:8

Love always remains firm and stable, unchanged and unchanging. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 254

1 Coríntios 13:13

If faith is the substance of things hoped for, as Hebrews [11:1] tells us, it will be superfluous once these things have arrived. Similarly with hope. But love is greater than these, because when our troubles are over and our bodies have been changed in the resurrection, our minds will be steadied by it, so that they will no longer desire now one thing, now another. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 255-56
