1 Corinthians 13:1-14:1 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.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
