Read I Corinthians 13:1-4 and explain the simile in the first verse.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Answer 1

The first verse declares that an outcome of whatever doesn’t proceed out of love is noise, meaning the absent love, there doesn’t exist any spiritual value for words not spoken in love. This is more or less to saying preaching to people without love doesn’t produce true discipleship within a church or in society.

the second verse declares another outcome which means there doesn’t exist any increase in spirituality from an intellectual understanding of the gospel. A faith arrived at in light of the convincing nature of the evidence can’t generate any improvements in spirituality. Intellectual understanding within the mind produces spirituality only if the heart truly confesses that Jesus Christ is lord and savior.
