riversident - 1Corinthians:13:1-8

riversident@1Corinthians:13:1 @ IF I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I have the power of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And if I distribute all that I have to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is longsuffering, love is kind, is not jealous, love does not boast, is not conceited,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:5 @ does not behave unbecomingly, does not seek her own interest, is not irritable, does not count up her wrongs,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:6 @ does not rejoice in wickedness, but rejoices with the truth,

riversident@1Corinthians:13:7 @ excuses all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

riversident@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails; but if there are prophetic powers, they will become useless; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will become useless.
