1 Corinthians 13:1-8

ECB(i) 1
THE WAY OF LOVE
Whenever I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels and have not love, I become an echoing copper or a hallooing cymbal. 2 And whenever I have prophecy and perceive all mysteries and all knowledge, and whenever I have all trust to remove mountains and have not love, I am naught. 3 And whenever I force feed all my holdings on others and whenever I surrender my body to burn, and have not love it benefits me naught. 4 Love is patient and is kind, love is never jealous, love never brags, never puffs, 5 never misbehaves, never self-seeking, never easily agitated, never reckons evil, 6 never cheers in injustice but co-cheers in the truth, 7 endures all, trusts all, hopes all, abides all: 8 love never ever fails. And whether prophecies, they inactivate; whether tongues, they pause; whether knowledge, it inactivates.
