If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a
clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, 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. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love,
I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does
not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices
in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love
never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for
knowledge, it will pass away.
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes,
the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I
reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have
been fully understood.
So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
(I Corinthians 13:1-13)
