Loue is the Way.
And that an excellent way to heaven. Our Apostle ends his 12. Chapter of the 1. Corin. in the description of many spiritual gifts. Apostleship, Prophesying, Teaching, 1Working of Miracles, healing, speaking with tongues. All excellent gifts; and yet concludes. Ver. 31. •ut covet earnestly the best gifts: And yet show I unto you a more excellent Way.
