1Corinthians: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 .
