1Corinthians:13

* If I talk with the tongues of men and even of angels , but if I do not love people , then I am only like the sound of a big horn or a loud bell . * If I speak words from God , if I can understand all secrets , and know everything , if I can move mountains by believing , but if I do not love people , I am nothing , even though I can do all of these things . * If I give away all I have , and if I give my body to be burned , but if I do not love people , I get nothing out of it . * Love is patient and kind . Love is not jealous . Love is not proud and does not boast . * Love does not do things that are not nice . Love does not just think of itself . Love does not get angry . Love holds no wrong feelings in the heart . * Love is not glad when people do wrong things . But it is always glad when they do right . * Love forgives everything . Love is always trusting , and always hoping , and never gives up . * Love never ends . The gift of speaking words from God will end . The gift of speaking in different tongues or languages will stop . The gift of knowing many things will end . * Now we know only a little , and we can speak only a little of Gods words . * But when everything becomes perfect , that part will come to an end . * When I was a child , I talked like a child . I understood like a child . I thought like a child . But when I became a man , I stopped doing things like a child . * Now it is like looking in a looking-glass which does not make things clear . We cannot see and understand things plainly . But when things become perfect , then we shall fully know and understand everything , just as God knows . * These three things will remain for ever . They are faith , hope , and love . And love is the greatest of them .
