Chapter 13 |
| If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels |
| But have not love |
| I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymbal |
| And if I have the gift of prophesy |
| And can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge |
| And if I have a faith that can move the mountains |
| But have not love |
| I am nothing |
| If I give all I possess to the poor |
| And surrender my body to the flames |
| But have not love |
| I gain nothing |
| Love is patient |
| Love is kind |
| It does not envy |
| Does not boast |
| It is not proud |
| It is not rude |
| It is not self-seeking |
| It is not easily angered |
| It keeps no record of wrongs |
| Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth |
| It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres |
| Love 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 |
| For we know in part and we prophesy in part |
| But when perfection comes the imperfect disappears |
| When 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 my childish ways behind me |
| Now we see but a poor 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 |
| And now these three remain |
| Faith, hope, and love |
| But the greatest of these is love |
| The greatest of these is love |
