1 Corinthians 13
13
1#2Co 12:4If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2#Mt 17:20; 21:21If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.
4#Col 3:12; Pr 10:12Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up, 5#1Co 10:24; Php 2:21does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; 6#2Jn 1:4; Ro 1:32rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7#1Co 13:4bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
8Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they shall fail; if there are tongues, they shall cease; and if there is knowledge, it shall vanish. 9#1Co 8:2; 13:12For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is imperfect shall pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, and I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12#2Co 5:7; 1Jn 3:2For now we see as through a glass, dimly, but then, face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I also am known.
13#Gal 5:6; 1Co 16:14; 1Pe 1:21So now abide faith, hope, and love, these three. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13
13
1If I speak in the tongues#13:1 Or languages of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,#13:3 Some manuscripts body to the flames but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
