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 sounding brass or a clanging cymbal . * And though I have the gift of prophecy , and understand all mysteries and all knowledge , and though I have all faith , so that I could remove mountains , but have not love , I am nothing . * And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor , and though I give my body to be burned , but have not love , it profits me nothing . * Love suffers long and is kind ; love does not envy ; love does not parade itself , is not puffed up ; * does not behave rudely , does not seek its own , is not provoked , thinks no evil ; * does not rejoice in iniquity , but rejoices in the truth ; * bears all things , believes all things , hopes all things , endures all things . * Love never fails . But whether there are prophecies , they will fail ; whether there are tongues , they will cease ; whether there is knowledge , it will vanish away . * For we know in part and we prophesy in part . * But when that which is perfect has come , then that which is in part will be done away . * When I was a child , I spoke as a child , I understood as a child , I thought as a child ; but when I became a man , I 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 shall know just as I also am known . * And now abide faith , hope , love , these three ; but the greatest of these is love .
