About this deck
1 Corinthians 13 is the most beloved chapter on love in the Bible. Paul begins by stripping away spiritual gifts to show that without charity they amount to nothing. Then he defines love itself — patient, kind, not envious, not proud — and ends with the famous trio of faith, hope, and charity, declaring that the greatest of these is charity. These eleven cards put the heart of the chapter in front of you in the KJV's stately wording. A perfect deck for engaged couples, Bible studies, wedding preparation, or any believer who wants Paul's vision of love to soak deeper into the heart.
