1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
If
I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If 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 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, it 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....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (NIV)
