Sibiya said the apostle teaches believers how to serve in the body of Christ.

“Are we serving the kingdom motivated by love or by earthly things? Apostle Paul says we can have all things – speak in tongues, prophesy, have knowledge of all mysteries and give to the community – but all these mean nothing if we don’t have love,” she said.

She further explained that the apostle describes what love is and encourages believers to practise Agape love – a godly, selfless and unconditional love.
