Paul makes a transition away from specific problems, and beginning in chapter 12 I see him addressing the root of all the problems that the congregation in Corinth is facing: the lack of love. Chapters 12 and 14 bookend the descriptive defition of love. While 12 and 14 address God's gifting of His church, chapter 13 nails down how love will be recoginized. There is so much here, it is another evidence of divinity inspiring the writer. Nothing this deep could be covered so effectively, with so few words, without God's direction.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
