Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 13:one

13:1 Though I speak with all the tongues - Which are upon earth, and with the eloquence of an affections. And accept not dear - The love of God, and of all mankind for his sake, I am no better before God than the sounding instruments of contumely, used in the worship of some of the infidel gods. Or a tinkling cymbal - This was fabricated of two pieces of hollow contumely, which, being struck together, made a tinkling, but very little diverseness of sound.

People's Bible Notes for i Corinthians 13:1

1Co xiii:i The Greatest of All Things SUMMARY OF I CORINTHIANS 13: Christian Love Better Than Miraculous Gifts. The Nature of Dear and Its Activity. All the Miraculous Gifts Shall Pass Away, but Beloved Endureth. Forever. All Human Noesis Imperfect and Transient. Simply Faith, Hope, and Love Eternal. Of the Three, Love Is the Greatest. Meyer says of this chapter: ``This praise of love, almost a psalm on love it might be called, is as rich in its contents drawn from deep experience as in rhetorical truth, fullness and power, grace and simplicity.'' Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. In 1Co 12:viii-10 Paul has spoken of spiritual gifts, one of which was to speak in tongues.

"Dearest", in the Revised Version. If he spoke non only with the tongues of men, but even those of angels, it would be, without honey, [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. An empty sound. The latter was a brazen bowl, which was beaten. The sounds of these instruments would non be musical.
