In chapter 12, Paul began to admonish the church to consider the nature of spiritual gifts within the church. Individuals within the church really wanted to have the gift of speaking in tongues, but Paul says that they should rather think of themselves as a body with many parts, all working together, though each part if different. It is within this context that Paul speaks of the nature of love. Yes, this is the chapter that is often read at weddings, and that can be fitting. However, in the original context, Paul is telling the church that these gifts of the Spirit, no matter how impressive, mean nothing if the church does not love one another. Furthermore, prophecy is a superior gift, and Paul explains why in chapter 14.
