And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. .................................................................................1 Corinthians 13:13

Aleph: 1) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

The primacy of Love integrates with the Aleph KeyWords Ahavah (Love) and Echad (Unity) from the Unity Holograph and the Greek Agape (Love) which is the topic of this entire chapter. All of this is amplified by the associations we have between Aleph and God from Spoke 1. Note also that both men (anthopoi) and angels (angleloi) begin with the letter Alpha.

Beyt: 2) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

This integrates with distribution of Prophecy which is maximized on Spoke 2 and associated concepts like the "Word" which is the name of the Second Divine Person, God the Son. Note also that in Hebrew, the word "Understanding" is the Beyt KeyWord Binah, which is closely related to the fundamental word Ben (Son).

Gimel: 3) And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

This integrates with all the major themes from Spoke 3 - most notably the theme of Giving which is the essence of Gimel, as explained in the article called the Abundant Giver. We also see an integration with the idea of Food (created on Day 3), Nourishment (role of the Holy Spirit), and the concept of Fire which is associated with the Holy Spirit and which is maximized on Spoke 3 in Leviticus (which also integrates with Food because of the dietary laws it contains.)

Dalet: 4) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

The essence of the Letter Dalet is humility and weakness. The Dalet HaAretz (Poor People of the Land) naturally follow the Gomel (Abundandant Giver).

Heh: 5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

When suffixed to a word, the letter Heh signifies the third person feminine possessive, her. E.g. Her House is written (Beytah).

Vav: 6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Zayin: 7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

One of the primary symbolic meanings of the Number 7 in Scripture is the idea of completion, perfection, and fulness. This is explained in the article called Seven and Scripture. All of this integrates with the geometry of the Wheel in the appearance of the Book of Colossians on Spoke Seven, as documented in the article called All the Fulness of the Godhead. All these ideas come together on Spoke 7 in Colossians 3.14

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

We have a strong thematic link:

Thematic Link: Charity in All Things

PBible( 73 ) PLove Chapter( 7 )

Chet: 8) Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Outside of the Love Chapter, the only verse in all the Bible to mention knowledge and charity is found in I Corinthians 8 (vs. 1-3):

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

We have a KeyLink:

KeyLink: Knowledge and Charity

PI Corinthians( 8 ) PLove Chapter( 8 )

Tet: 9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

Yod: 10) But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

Kaph: 11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

When prefixed to a word, the letter Kaph means like or as, as explained in Who is like God. Note also that combining Kaph and Lamed spells (Kol, All), which is geometrically integrated with the Aleph and Tav on the Wheel.

Lamed: 12) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The phrase "face to face" is a metaphor for salvation that emphasises the intimate relationship with God possible through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. This phrase was used in Genesis 32 when Jacob wrestled with the Angel of the Lord, and also as a description of the relation between Moses and God. In Hebrew, the phrase is:

The word connecting the two "Panim's" is (el), which means to. It is from the essential meaning of the letter Lamed, which, when prefixed to a word means to or for.

Mayim: 13) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

In Greek, the word abideth is (menei). It is deeply integrated with words like remain, permanent, and amen. It is a Mayim KeyWord that relates to the foundation mentioned in Isaiah 26.16:

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

We have a pair of identities:

Note that both of these words are Mayim KeyWords. In particular, menei is the from the same root as (Hupomonei, Patience) which appears in Revelation 13 and integrates with a lot of content from Spoke 13 of the Inner Cycle of the Psalms.

The ultimate meaning of menei is found in the words of the Apostle John, where it is translated as "dwelleth in" (I John 4.15f):

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth [menei] in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth [menei] in love dwelleth [menei] in God, and God in him.
