At first glance, this particular passage may seem to be expressing the priority of love over knowledge per the last stanza. The primacy of love over knowledge is certainly the case in 1Corinthians Elsewhere, in 1Corinthians 8: This is not so much a comparison of knowledge to love as is the case in the aforementioned passages as it is a proclamation concerning the mental incomprehensibility of love: The vastness of the love of Christ is unintelligible in ways similar to star gazing.

Observe what titles John mentions in the same order, two times: Again, keep in mind my point for delving into this exercise: With this in mind, look more closely at each of the three in the same order John presents them:.
