1 Corinthians 13:1-8 I will show you a far better way. If I can speak the languages of men and even of angels, but have no love, I am only a noisy gong or a clashing cymbal.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I will show you a far better way. If I can speak the languages of men and even of angels, but have no love, I am only a noisy gong or a clashing cymbal. ² If I am inspired to preach and know all the secret truths and possess all knowledge, and if I have such perfect faith that I can move mountains, but have no love, I am nothing. ³ Even if I give away everything I own, and give myself up, but do it in pride, not love, it does me no good. ⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not envious or boastful. It does not put on airs. ⁵ It is not rude. It does not insist on its rights. It does not become angry. It is not resentful. ⁶ It is not happy over injustice, it is only happy with truth. ⁷ It will bear anything, believe anything, hope for anything, endure anything. ⁸ Love will never die out. If there is inspired preaching, it will pass away. If there is ecstatic speaking, it will cease. If there is knowledge, it will pass away.
