WPNT(i)
31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. And now I show you a most excellent way.
13 1 If I speak the languages of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become a sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 Even if I give away all my possessions and hand over my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy; love does not brag, is not proud,
5 is not indecent, is not self-seeking, is not ‘short-fused’, is not malicious;
6 it does not take pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 it bears all, believes all, hopes all, endures all;
8 love never fails. Now as for prophecies, they will be set aside; as for languages, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will be superseded;
9 since we know in part and prophesy in part.
