| 31 | But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. | |
| 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. | |
