1Cor 13
1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become
[as] sounding brass or a clashing cymbal.
2
And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3
And though I give away all my possessions to feed [the poor], and though I deliver
up my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4
Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not arrogant;
5
does not behave disgracefully, does not seek its own, is not provoked to anger, thinks
no evil;
6
does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8
Love never fails. But whether there [are] prophecies, they shall pass away; whether
there[ are] tongues, they shall cease; whether there[ is] knowledge, it shall pass
away.
9
Now we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is partial shall pass away.
11
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child;
but when I became a man, I put away the things of the child.
12
For now we see through a mirror by reflection, but then face to face. Now I know in
part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
