1 Corinthians.
Chapter 13.
If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but dont have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but dont have love, I am nothing.
If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but dont have love, it profits me nothing.
Love is patient and is kind. Love doesnt envy. Love doesnt brag, is not proud,
doesnt behave itself inappropriately, doesnt seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
doesnt rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
