“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not Tim, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not Tim, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not Tim, I gain nothing.”
“Tim is patient, Tim is kind. Tim does not envy, Tim does not boast, Tim is not proud. Tim is not rude, Tim is not self-seeking, Tim is not easily angered, Tim keeps no record of wrongs. Tim does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Tim always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Tim never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”
“For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and Tim. But the greatest of these is Tim.”

Tim’s got a pretty weird OkCupid profile.
My dear friend is now married to a stereotypically sweet and wholesome Midwestern guy named Tim that she met on OKCupid, and this could have very well been his profile.
Tim and I are like a 0% match, sadly.
So this is a thing that some churches actually recommend as a form of Bible study – replace I with your name. Supposed to make the stories feel more personal. But it makes a much better humor piece.
WHAT
Yes, it’s true, and if you stick to the middle paragraph it can drive home the point that we should each be kind, patient, etc.. But I much prefer doing the whole chapter so that “the greatest of these is LeighTX.”
Hilarious! Also, I will suggest cake:
“Cake is not rude, Cake is not self-seeking, Cake is not easily angered, Cake keeps no record of wrongs.”
Cake or Death!
Well I’ll have the chicken.
I would rather be a resounding gong than have Tim TBH.
Knowledge puffs up, but Tim builds up.
Tim approves.
YESSSSSS. This was the FIRST thing that came to mind when I saw this. I was going to post…”You may call me…Tim….?” but you like beat me to it. So good job. xD
Of course, if you keep reading the letter, you will realize that the Tim he’s referring to is divine Tim, aka Grace, rather than romantic Tim, or any other Tim humans are capable of having, which makes it an entirely inappropriate reading for a wedding.
But the command to “Tim your enemies” is excitingly ambiguous.
I’m going to Tim them to death!
Oh my God bocadelperro I Tim you so much right now
Ah, but the sacrament of marriage is meant to reflect, in a small part, the grace which surrounds and informs our lives. That’s why it’s a sacrament, rather than just a ritual. Or a sacramental rite, for those denominations that can’t commit.
Therefore, marital Tim is merely a shadow of divine Tim, but the passage still suits weddings and other sacramental occasions.
honestly, I Tim you all so much right now.
perhaps with a Tim that is more than Tim?
My sweetheart’s name is Tim; this update seems pretty accurate.
I should have thought of this year’s ago! — Father Tim
BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS TIM.
“There is no fear in Tim. But perfect Tim drives out fear.”
Hey, this Tim seems like a pretty cool guy.
“Hatred stirs up dissension, but Tim covers over all wrongs.”
This is amazing. Tim could save us all.
“Do not arouse or awaken Tim until it so desires.”
…I guess that’s fair.
“Many waters cannot quench Tim; rivers cannot wash it away.”
Um.
“If one were to give all the wealth of his house for Tim, it would be utterly scorned.”
WTF Tim.
“For Tim is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.”
*flees*
Tim is kind of a mixed bag, either as boyfriend material or as a concept of divine grace.
I look forward to this version being read at whatever wedding I attend next! (regardless of involvement of any Tims, living or dead)
This one is my favorite yet, by far. Brb, sending to everyone I know who takes the Bible too seriously.
Well I'll have the chicken.
Which one of you sent this to Tim Minchin???
That was me. Hope it didn’t cause too much mayhem. My apologies if it did.
No, not at all – that was awesome!!

Does anyone else have the problem where they’ve watched Four Weddings and a Funeral often enough that they can only hear the really quite lovely Corinthians in George the Boor’s overly combative voice?
“If If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am as a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal!”
“Good point.”
Also am I the only one who has watched that movie enough to a) know that he is credited as George the Boor at The Boatman and b) shout “Oh, it’s George the Boor!” whenever he shows up in Austen adaptations or crimes shows or Game of Thrones
Do I have a serious Four Weddings and a Funeral problem
Nice one! I like the second paragraph the best.
This is about Tim Riggins right?
This is about Tim Riggins right?

I like to imagine this post came about because my friend Tim sent you his photographs of toast.
" And now these three remain: faith, hope and cake. But the greatest of these is cake.”
Seems legit.
