ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 13 v8a

LOVE ALONE PERSEVERES. MACRINA (THE SISTER OF GREGORY OF NYSSA): Love is first among all the activities connected with virtue and all the commandments of the law. If, therefore, the soul ever attains this love, it will need none of the others, having reached the fullness of its being. It seems that love alone preserves in itself the character of the divine blessedness. And knowledge becomes love because what is known is by nature beautiful. [THE TEACHING OF MACRINA] ON THE SOUL AND THE RESURRECTION.

LOVE NEVER FAILS. SEVERIAN OF GABALA: Love never fails, which means that it never falls into sin. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.

UNCHANGING LOVE. THEODORET OF CYR: Love always remains firm and stable, unchanged and unchanging. COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 254.
