1 Corinthians 13:1-8

1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

2And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

4Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous [of others]; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,

5does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,

6does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,

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

8Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.
