How should you bring people around to the truth according to Paul?
Paul teaches that the only way to bring people around to the truth is in the spirit of love. You do not slap them in the face with anger, ridicule them, or put them down as some kind of dummy. Instead, in love, you bring them around to the truth.
Les explains that Paul, wanting to soften his approach and prepare the ground, was prompted by the Holy Spirit to write chapter 13—the love chapter—between the problem-filled chapters 12 and 14. Paul realized that the only way to bring people around to the truth is in the spirit of love, not by slapping them with anger, ridiculing them, or putting them down as some kind of dummy. In chapter 14, Paul says to follow after love and desire spiritual things, and love remains the greatest of all things in God's dealing with man.
