1 Corinthians - ch 13 v 1 - 13

  1. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
  2. And if I have `the gift of' prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
  3. And if I bestow all my goods to feed `the poor', and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
  4. Love suffereth long, `and' is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
  5. doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;
  6. rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;
  7. beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
  8. Love never faileth: but whether `there be' prophecies, they shall be done away; whether `there be' tongues, they shall cease; whether `there be' knowledge, it shall be done away.
  9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
  10. but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.
  11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.
  12. For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.
  13. But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
