RKJNT(i)
31 But earnestly desire the best gifts: and yet I will show you a more excellent way.
13 1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so that I can remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, and is not arrogant;
5 It is not rude, does not insist on its own way, is not easily provoked, it keeps no account of wrongs suffered;
6 It does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in the truth;
7 Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails: but where there are prophecies, they shall pass away; where there are tongues, they shall cease; where there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is partial shall pass away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
14 1 Follow after love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
