1 Corinthians Chapter 13 (ESV)
undefined
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
undefined
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
undefined
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
undefined
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
undefined
or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
undefined
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
undefined
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
undefined
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
undefined
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
undefined
but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
undefined
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
undefined
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
undefined
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
