Right.  This gets into hermeneutics and theology, which I believe to be 
beyond the scope of what we are supposed to be talking about in B-Greek.  I 
could talk about the position of 1 Cor 13 in Paul's narrative argument, the 
structure of the passage, the general eschatological nature of "love" in 
relationship to Christ and his work as Paul conceives it in the Corinthian 
correspondence -- but that isn't about the Greek as much.
