1Corinthians:13:1-13

Seeker Overlay ON

* 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * Love is patient , love is kind ; love does not envy ; love does not boast , is not arrogant ; * does not behave disgracefully , does not seek its own , is not provoked to anger , thinks no evil ; * does not rejoice over unrighteousness , but rejoices with the truth ; * bears all things , believes all things , hopes all things , endures all things . * 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 . * Now we know in part , and we prophesy in part . * But when that which is perfect has come , then that which is partial shall pass away . * 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 . * 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 . * And now abide faith , hope , love , these three ; but the greatest of these is love .
