1 Corinthians 13

The Way of Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

The Greatest Gift

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass 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.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,a but have not love, I gain nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up;

or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;b

does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil;

it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

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.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done 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.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
