Essential Teachers notes:
This passage is so quoted and used it’s a key part of understanding the “love” theme that echoes through scripture. It is however rather abstract and this retelling used the instance of Paul writing it to frame the passage into a story.

Tell this story or a similar one of your choice from a favourite bible translation or story book. This version is supplied for inspiration, feel free to omit or embellish to give it your personal voice.
