“Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”” 1 Corinthians 15:33 This warning comes to Corinth as Paul deals with those that held a wrong view of the Resurrection.

“Love never fails;” 1 Corinthians 13:8a For those familiar with 1 Corinthians 13, you’ll know that this verse is the last of what defines Love.
