Dear Anonymous, I believe the Holy Spirit, through the apostle, was trying to teach the Corinthian believers the importance of demonstrating the love of God towards one another. The Corinthian believers were very gifted by the gifts of the Spirit mentioned in chapter twelve, and these gifts are to be demonstrated by love. The gifts are given for the benefit of the body of Christ, and are to be used to edify, exhort, and comfort all. The Apostle Paul goes on to reveal that the gifts are temporal, but it is the love of God that will endure forever!
