ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 13 v13a

LOVE ABIDES. CYPRIAN: There will always be love in the kingdom, it will abide forever in the unity of a harmonious brotherhood. Discord cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. One who has violated the love of Christ by faithless dissension cannot attain to the reward of Christ. UNITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH 14.

LOVE REIGNS. AMBROSIASTER: Love is the greatest because while faith is preached and hope pertains to the future life, love reigns. As 1 John [3:16] says: “By this we know his love, that he laid down his life for us.” Love is therefore the greatest of the three, because by it the human race has been renewed. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

LOVE WILL NEVER CEASE. CHRYSOSTOM: Faith and hope will cease when the things believed in and hoped for appear. But love then becomes even greater and more ardent. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 34.5.
