1 Corinthians 13:1-8

1If I speak human or angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

2If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.

3And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant,

5is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs.

6Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.

7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.
