1 Corinthians
13
13 If I speak in
the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do
not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If
I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do
not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I
possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain
nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does
not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It
does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love
never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there
are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass
away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in
part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is
in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked
like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a
man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For
now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to
face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully
known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and
love. But the greatest of these is love.
GOD
