| 13:1 |
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
|
| 13:2 |
And 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.
|
| 13:3 |
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
|
| 13:4 |
Love is patient and kind;love is not jealous or boastful;
|
| 13:5 |
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way;it is not irritable or resentful;
|
| 13:6 |
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
|
| 13:7 |
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
|
| 13:8 |
Love never ends;as for prophecies, they will pass away;as for tongues, they will cease;as for knowledge, it will pass away.
|
| 13:9 |
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
|
| 13:10 |
but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
|
| 13:11 |
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child;when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
|
| 13:12 |
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part;then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.
|
| 13:13 |
So faith, hope, love abide, these three;but the greatest of these is love.
