| 13 | 1 Corinthians | ||
| 1 | If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. | ||
| 2 | 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 no love, I AM nothing. | ||
| 3 | If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have no love, I GAIN nothing. | ||
| 4 | Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; | ||
| 5 | it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; | ||
| 6 | it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. | ||
| 7 | Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. | ||
| 8 | Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. | ||
| 9 | For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; | ||
| 10 | but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. | ||
| 11 | 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. | ||
| 12 | 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. | ||
| 13 | So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE. | ||
