1Corinthians:13:1-13

Seeker Overlay ON

* Though I could speak with the tongues of men , of angels , but have not love , I become as sounding brass , or a noisy cymbal . * And though I have prophecy , and know all secrets , and all knowledge ; and though I have all faith , so as to remove mountains , but have not love , I am nothing . * And though I spend all my goods in feeding the poor , and though I deliver my body to be burned , but have not love , I am nothing profited . * Love suffers long , and is kind . Love envies not . Love does not vaunt ; is not puffed up ; * does not behave itself unbecomingly ; does not seek its own things ; is not exasperated ; does not imagine evil ; * does not rejoice in iniquity , but greatly rejoices in the truth : * covers all things , believes all things , hopes all things , endures all things . * Love never fails : but , whether prophecies , they will be out of use : or foreign languages , they shall cease : or science , it shall be abolished . * For we know only in part , and prophesy in part . * But when perfection is come , then what is in part will be done away . * When I was a child , I spoke as a child , I conceived as a child , I reasoned as a child . But when I became a man , I put away childish things . * For now we seek through a glass obscurely ; but then , face to face : now , I know in part ; but then , I shall fully know , even as I am fully known . * And now abide faith , hope , love , these three : but the greatest of these is love .
