The concept of ἀγάπη is important in Pauline theology particularly in the1 Cor where the community, despite their faith in Jesus Christ, faced many problems and internal conflicts. Hence, the main objective of this dissertation is to develop the concept of ἀγάπη in Paul which has been concentrated in 1 Cor 13. Accordingly, we observe that Apostle comments, in a hymnical manner, on the topic of love, favoring the concept of ἀγάπη, as the supreme love that God has towards humanity. Therefore, the hymn of love or way par excellence is for Paul an essential guide to overcome the problems of the Corinthian community so that believers can live an authentic Christian life amid the tensions and divisions of the community.
