1 Corinthians Chapter 14 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPHECY AND TONGUES WITHIN THE CHURCH
Vs. 1 Paul shifts his message from Love being the guiding motivation for the practice of the biblical gifts to giving instructions on the gifts of tongues and prophecy. The reason for this is that the Corinithian church were using and abusing these gifts the most.

Vs 1-2 Paul wants Christians to imitate him to the extent that he imitates Christ. This DOES NOT MEAN that Paul is perfect because Christ is the ONLY perfect (sinless) person.
