The Way of Love

13Verse 1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.Verse 2If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.Verse 3If I give away all my possessions to feed others, and if I deliver up my body+to be burned, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.Verse 4Love is patient and kind. Love does not envy or boast. It is not puffed upVerse 5or rude. It does not seek its own way, it is not irritable, and it keeps no record of wrongs.Verse 6It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.Verse 7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.Verse 8Love never fails. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.Verse 9+Now we know in part, and we prophesy in part.Verse 10Yet when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end.Verse 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, and I reasoned like a child. But when I became a man, I set aside childish ways.Verse 12For now we see in a mirror by means of an obscure image, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.Verse 13And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
