Valentine’s Day
• 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 - 8 Love never fails; but if
there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done
away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if
there is knowledge, it will be done away. 9 For
we know in part and we prophesy in part; 10
but when the perfect comes, the partial will be
done away. 11 When I was a child, I used to
speak like a child, think like a child, reason
like a child; when I became a man, I did away
with childish things. 12 For now we see in a
mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I
know in part, but then I will know fully just as
I also have been fully known. 13 But now faith,
hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest
of these is love.
“Love from your
Valentine.”

from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation,

all these things we are more than
conquerors through Him who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death, nor life,

in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our

Your lovingkindness and Your truth

to suffer, and that by reason of His
resurrection from the dead He would be the
first to proclaim light both to the Jewish
people and to the Gentiles." 24 While Paul
was saying this in his defense, Festus said

mind! Your great learning is driving you
mad." 25 But Paul said, "I am not out of my
mind, most excellent Festus, but I utter
words of sober truth.

when wronged, 25 with gentleness
correcting those who are in

knowledge of the truth, 26 and they
may come to their senses and escape
from the snare of the devil, having
been held captive by him to do his
will. NASU
