He has been point to this and hinting at the solution.
He has been pointing to the outworking of this pride and showing the proper attitudes as he tells them to stop seeking their own good and seek the good of others.
Now, in chapter 13 he is at the climax of the letter.

I Gain Nothing
What is it like?
What does love do?
Is Patient

Does not delight in evil
Rejoices with the truth
Always Protects
Bears all things, endures
Always Trusts
Always Hopes
Always Perseveres
Never Fails
never falls to ruins, never ceases.
Notice the next verses deal with things that will end.
