1Corinthians:13

* Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels , but have no love , I am become a clanging brass , or a clashing cymbal . * Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge , and have all faith , so that I could remove mountains , but have not love , I am nothing . * And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor , and though I give my body to be burned , but have not love , it avails me nothing . * Love suffers long and is kind ; love envies not ; love makes no parade , is not puffed up , * is not rude , nor selfish , nor easily provoked . Love bears no malice , never rejoices over wrong-doing , * but rejoices when the truth rejoices . * It knows how to be silent , it is trustful , hopeful , patient , enduring . * Love never fails ; but though there are prophecies , they will fail ; though there are tongues , they will cease ; though there is knowledge , it will be superseded . * For our knowing is imperfect , and our prophesying is imperfect ; * but when the perfect is come , then the perfect will be done away . * When I was a child I spoke like a child , felt like a child , thought like a child ; now that I am become a man , I have done with childish things . * For now we see as in a mirror , and are baffled , but then face to face ; now I know in fragments , but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood . * Faith , Hope , Love endure - these three ; but the greatest of these is Love .
