1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, I would benefit all.
4 Love is patient, is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, it is not inflated,
5 does not behave so unseemly, seeketh not her own interest, not s'inasprisce no charges evil
6 does not rejoice, but rejoices with the truth;
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. The prophecies will be abolished, or tongues shall cease, and knowledge will be abolished;
9 because we know in part and prophesy in part;
10 but when the perfect is come, that is only in part, will be abolished.
11 As a child I spake as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned like a child, but when I became a man, I put childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part, but then I shall know fully, even as I was fully known.
13 And now these three things last: faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is love.
