1 Corinthians 13:1-7

1 Corinthians 13:1-7 TOJB2011

If in the leshonot of Bnei Adam and malachim I speak, but I do not have ahavah, I have become only a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have nevu'ah and have da'as of all sodot and all da'as, and if I have all emunah so as to remove mountains, but ahavah I do not have, I am nothing. And if I'm a marbitz tzedaka and give all I possess in gemilut chasadim and if I give my body al kiddush HASHEM for sereifah (death by burning), but ahavah I do not have, I have gained nothing. Ahavah suffers long; ahavah is kind; ahavah does not have kinah; ahavah does not brag; ahavah is not puffed up in ga'avah (conceit, pride); ahavah does not behave shamelessly; ahavah does not in anochiyut insist on its own way; ahavah is not touchy and vindictive, keeping a record of wrongs. Ahavah does not find simcha in evil, but rejoices in HaEmes. Ahavah covers all things, believes all things, has tikvah (hope), even savlanut, for all things.
