nsb - 1Corinthians:13

nsb@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and do not have love, I have become like loud sounding brass, or a clashing cymbal.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:2 @ If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:3 @ And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not jealous. Love does not brag and is not arrogant.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:5 @ Love does not act indecently. It is not selfish. It is not provoked and does not take into account a wrong suffered.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:6 @ Love does not rejoice with evil, but rejoices with the truth.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:7 @ It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails. Where there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:9 @ For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:10 @ When the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, and reason like a child. When I became an adult I did away with childish things.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror dimly, and then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

nsb@1Corinthians:13:13 @ Faith, hope and love remain. These three! The greatest of these is love!
