The Excellence of Love

1IfG1437 I speakG2980 with the 1tonguesG1100 of menG444 and of 2angelsG32, but do not haveG2192 loveG26, I have becomeG1096 a noisyG2278 gongG5475 orG2228 a 3clangingG214 cymbalG2950. 2IfG1437 I haveG2192 the gift of 4prophecyG4394, and knowG3609 allG3956 5mysteriesG3466 and allG3956 6knowledgeG1108; and ifG1437 I haveG2192 7allG3956 faithG4102, soG5620 as to 8removeG3179 mountainsG3735, but do not haveG2192 loveG26, I amG1510 nothingG3762. 3And ifG1437 I 9giveG5595 allG3956 my possessionsG5225 to feedG5595 the poor, and ifG1437 I 10surrenderG3860 my bodyG4983 11to be burnedG2545, but do not haveG2192 loveG26, it profitsG5623 me nothingG3762.

4LoveG26 12is patientG3114, loveG26 is kindG5541 and 13is not jealousG2206; loveG26 does not bragG4068 and is not 14arrogantG5448, 5does not actG807 unbecominglyG807; it 15does not seekG2212 its ownG1438, is not provokedG3947, 16does not takeG3049 into accountG3049 a wrongG2556 suffered, 617does not rejoiceG5463 in unrighteousnessG93, but 18rejoicesG4796 with the truthG225; 71920bearsG4722 allG3956 thingsG3956, believesG4100 allG3956 thingsG3956, hopesG1679 allG3956 thingsG3956, enduresG5278 allG3956 thingsG3956.

8LoveG26 neverG3763 failsG4098; but ifG1535 there are gifts of 2122prophecyG4394, they will be doneG2673 awayG2673; ifG1535 there are 23tonguesG1100, they will ceaseG3973; ifG1535 there is knowledgeG1108, it will be doneG2673 awayG2673. 9For we 24knowG1097 in partG3313 and we prophesyG4395 in partG3313; 10but whenG3752 the perfectG5046 comesG2064, the partialG3313 will be doneG2673 awayG2673. 11WhenG3753 I was a childG3516, I used to speakG2980 likeG5613 a childG3516, thinkG5426 likeG5613 a childG3516, reasonG3049 likeG5613 a childG3516; whenG3753 I 25becameG1096 a manG435, I didG2673 awayG2673 with childishG3516 things. 12For nowG737 we 26seeG991 in a mirrorG2072 27dimlyG135, but thenG5119 28faceG4383 to faceG4383; nowG737 I knowG1097 in partG3313, but thenG5119 I will knowG1921 fullyG1921 justG2531 as I alsoG2532 29have been fullyG1921 knownG1921. 13But nowG3570 faithG4102, hopeG1680, loveG26, abideG3306 theseG3778 threeG5140; but the 30greatestG3173 of theseG3778 is 31loveG26.
