Life was never intended to be lived without love. And so, of course, love must persevere, as long as life is. As people of God, our calling is to be like Him. That's isn't what I had in mind. You may find at times that someone who should appreciate your work and efforts on the job simply doesn't.
Love keeps on keeping on.
Refuse to let the devil have the last say. Persevere in brotherly love. Love always endures. I suspect that the strong Christians who disregarded those who would not eat the idol meat gradually grew tired of hearing their objections and said, 'That's it. That captures the essence of the thought perfectly.
