I think it could have been a message from God.
In the King James version, which you pulled up, it talks about charity. In newer versions of the Bible, the word charity is replace with the word love.
I read 1 Corinthians 13 at my daughter's wedding.
And yes, God does work in mysterious ways.
My daughter arranged for me to go to a christian retreat in early June. I didn't know if I should go because it sounded kind of woowoo to me. She's evangelical. Less than 1/2 hour after I talked to my daughter on the phone I got an email from my friend Cheryl. The email contained beautiful paintings of Jesus' life from birth to resurrection.
Cheryl never sent me stuff like that before, only jokes.
I'm sure it was a sign from God, so I called my daughter back and went to the retreat. And it did help me, although it wasn't a cure like my daughter hoped.
God does work in mysterious ways.
