People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 13:3
And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor]. Though he
exhibit what the world calls charity in the highest degree, unless he
is filled with love, it is nothing. One might give his goods from a
desire of praise.
Though I give my body to be burned. Gives not only goods, but his
body itself. If, like a Buddhist ascetic, he leaps into the flames to
burn away the dross and to etherialize his spirit.
And have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. These sacrifices are
useless unless consecrated by love. All these things are excellences if
sanctified by the divine principle of love, but are profitless without
it.
