31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
13 1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I have to the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.
6 Love does not rejoice with evil, but rejoices with the truth.
7 endures all, trusts all, hopes all, abides all:
8 Love never fails; but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 But when perfection comes, what is imperfect will pass away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12 Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
14 1 Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
