1 Corinthians 13:1-8

CLV(i) 1 If I should be speaking in the languages of men and of the messengers, yet should have no love, I have become resounding copper or a clanging cymbal." 2 And if I should have prophecy and should be perceiving all secrets and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so as to transport mountains, yet have no love, I am nothing." 3 And if ever I should be morselling out all my possessions, and if I should be giving up my body, that I should be boasting, yet may have no love, in nothing do I benefit." 4 Love is patient, is kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not bragging, is not puffed up, 5 is not indecent, is not self-seeking, is not incensed, is not taking account of evil, 6 is not rejoicing in injustice, yet is rejoicing together with the truth, 7 is forgoing all, is believing all, is expecting all, is enduring all." 8 Love is never lapsing: yet, whether prophecies, they will be discarded, or languages, they will cease, or knowledge, it will be discarded."
