1 Corinthians 13:1-8

1If I speakG2980 with the tonguesG1100 of menG444 and of angelsG32, but have not loveG26, I am becomeG1096 sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

2And if I have the gift of prophecyG4394, and know all mysteriesG3466 and all knowledgeG1108; and if I have all faithG4102, so as to remove mountainsG3735, but have not loveG26, I amG1510 nothing.

3And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my bodyG4983 to be burnedG2545, but have not loveG26, it profiteth me nothing.

4LoveG26 suffereth long, and is kind; loveG26 envieth not; loveG26 vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its ownG1438, is not provoked, taketh not account of evilG2556;

6rejoiceth not in unrighteousnessG93, but rejoiceth with the truthG225;

7beareth all thingsG3956, believeth all thingsG3956, hopeth all thingsG3956, endureth all thingsG3956.

8LoveG26 neverG3763 faileth: but whether there be propheciesG4394, they shall be done awayG2673; whether there be tonguesG1100, they shall ceaseG3973; whether there be knowledgeG1108, it shall be done awayG2673.
