31 But strive for the better gifts. And yet I make known a more excellent way.
13 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clashing cymbal.
2 And 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.
3 And 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.
4 Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not puffed up;
5 does not behave disgracefully, does not seek its own, is not provoked to anger, thinks no evil;
6 does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love 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.
9 Now we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is partial shall pass away.
11 When 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.
12 For 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.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
14 1 Pursue love, and desire the spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
