1 Corinthians 13:1 If ever I could habitually speak (or as an indicative: If I continuously speak) in or with the languages of the human groups (or: by the tongues of mankind) – or even of the agents (or: messengers) – yet am not constantly having and continuously holding love, I have come to be a continuously sounding (or: blaring; booming out; resounding) piece of brass (or: copper; bronze) or a repeatedly clashing basin or a continuously clanging cymbal!
