13Verse 1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clashing cymbal.Verse 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.Verse 3And though I give away all my possessions to feed the poor, and though I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.Verse 4Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not arrogant;Verse 5does not behave disgracefully, does not seek its own, is not provoked to anger, thinks no evil;Verse 6does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;Verse 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Verse 8Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they shall pass away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall pass away.Verse 9Now we know in part, and we prophesy in part.Verse 10But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is partial shall pass away.Verse 11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child; but when I became a man, I put away the things of the child.Verse 12For now we see through a mirror by reflection, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.Verse 13And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
