| If
I speak in the tongues of men
and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
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. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. |

Love
is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is
not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices
in the right. |
 |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends;
as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will pass away. |
 |
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. | |
 |
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. |  |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
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. |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. |
