| 1 Cor. 13:1 |
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. |
| 1 Cor. 13:2 |
And if I have [the gift of] prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. |
| 1 Cor. 13:3 |
And if I dole out all my possessions to feed [others,] and if I deliver up my body that I may boast, but do not have love, I profit nothing. |
| 1 Cor. 13:4 |
Love suffers long. Love is kind; it is not jealous. Love does not brag [and] is not puffed up; |
| 1 Cor. 13:5 |
It does not behave unbecomingly [and] does not seek its own things; it is not provoked [and] does not take account of evil; |
| 1 Cor. 13:6 |
It does not rejoice because of unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; |
| 1 Cor. 13:7 |
It covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. |
| 1 Cor. 13:8 |
Love never falls [away.] But whether prophecies, they will be rendered useless; or tongues, they will cease; or knowledge, it will be rendered useless. |
| 1 Cor. 13:9 |
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; |
| 1 Cor. 13:10 |
But when that which is complete comes, that which is in part will be rendered useless. |
| 1 Cor. 13:11 |
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child; since I have become a man, I have done away with childish things. |
| 1 Cor. 13:12 |
For now we see in a mirror obscurely, but at that time face to face; now I know in part, but at that time I will fully know even as also I was fully known. |
| 1 Cor. 13:13 |
Now there abide faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. |
