1 Corinthians 13:1-8

Thomson(i) 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, if I have not love, I am but a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal; 2 and though I have a gift of prophesy and understand all the mysteries and all this knowledge; and though I have all that faith, so as to remove mountains; if I have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I distribute all my substance to feed the poor, and deliver up my body to be burned, if I have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Love is long suffering; it aboundeth in kindness. Love is not envious. Love is not insolent: it is not puffed up. 5 It doth not behave itself unbecomingly. It is not self interested. It is not easily provoked. It placeth not the evil to account. 6 It rejoiceth not in iniquity, but shareth in the joys of truth. 7 It beareth all things. It believeth all things. It hopeth all things. It endureth all things patiently. 8 Love never faileth. But as for prophecies, they will be out of use. As for languages, they will cease: As for science, it will be done away.
