1 Corinthians Chapter 13

1If I speak in the languages of men and of the angels, but I do not have love, I am sounding copper or a clanging cymbal. 2And if I have prophecy and know all the mysteries and have all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but if I do not have love, I am nothing. 3And if I distribute food from the proceeds of all my belongings, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but I do not have love, I am not profited in any way. 4Love is longsuffering; it is kind. Love is not jealous. Love does not vaunt itself; it does not become puffed up. 5It does not behave in an unseemly way, it does not seek its own interests, it is not provoked; it does not keep an account of evil. 6It does not rejoice over injustice, but rejoices with truth. 7It bears all things, it believes all things, it puts hope in all things; it endures all things. 8Love never fails. But if there are gifts of prophecies, they will be abolished. And if there are tongues, they will cease. And if there is knowledge, it will cease to be applicable. 9But we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when the culmination arrives, then that which is in part will be abolished. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But since I have become a man, I have done away with childish things. 12For now we see through a mirror enigmatically, but then it will be face to face. At present I know in part, but then I will know as I am also known. 13And now there remain faith, hope and love – these three things. But the greatest of these is love.
