Love Is the Greatest
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
Love
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be 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, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
When I was a child, I spake 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 through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
