1 Corinthians 13:1-6

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

2And 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 not love, I am nothing.

3If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
