1 Corinthians 13:1-6

1I may speak in the languages of humans and of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal.

2I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don’t have love, I am nothing.

3I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned. But if I don’t have love, none of these things will help me.

4Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant.

5It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs.

6It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth.
