An Inductive Study of 1 Corinthians 13
First Corinthians 13 is one of the most familiar chapters in Scripture—often read at weddings and associated almost exclusively with romantic love. But this chapter was never intended to be isolated to marriage or sentimental relationships.
In this 18-day inductive Bible study, students will slow down and engage deeply with 1 Corinthians 13 to discover how God defines love, not how culture reinterprets it. Written to a divided and spiritually immature church, this chapter was intentionally placed by Paul between his teaching on spiritual gifts and the proper functioning of the church. Love, Paul argues, is not optional—it is foundational.

An Inductive Study of 1 Corinthians 13
First Corinthians 13 is one of the most familiar chapters in Scripture—often read at weddings and associated almost exclusively with romantic love. But this chapter was never intended to be isolated to marriage or sentimental relationships.
In this 18-day inductive Bible study, students will slow down and engage deeply with 1 Corinthians 13 to discover how God defines love, not how culture reinterprets it. Written to a divided and spiritually immature church, this chapter was intentionally placed by Paul between his teaching on spiritual gifts and the proper functioning of the church. Love, Paul argues, is not optional—it is foundational.
While culture frequently lectures Christians on what love is and what “loving like Jesus” should look like, Scripture already gives us a clear definition. We don’t need to look any further than God’s Word to understand love rightly.
In This Study, Students Will:
- Understand 1 Corinthians 13 in its original context, exploring the issues within the Corinthian church and why Paul interrupts his discussion of spiritual gifts with a lesson on love.
- Learn and apply inductive Bible study principles, strengthening their ability to properly observe, interpret, and apply Scripture with confidence.
- Engage personally with the text, allowing God’s definition of love to challenge assumptions, confront misplaced affections, and shape daily life.
This study will convict you as it invites you to examine where your own affections truly lie. It will also expose why the culture cannot love as God does—because apart from God, love cannot be rightly defined at all.
If you’ve ever wondered whether the love you see modeled around you aligns with Scripture, this study will ground you firmly in truth and call you to a love that reflects the character of Christ.
