1If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;Select 1 Corinthians 13:1
2and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;Select 1 Corinthians 13:2
3and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.Select 1 Corinthians 13:3
4The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,Select 1 Corinthians 13:4
5doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,Select 1 Corinthians 13:5
6rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;Select 1 Corinthians 13:6
7all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.Select 1 Corinthians 13:7
8The love doth never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;Select 1 Corinthians 13:8
9for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;Select 1 Corinthians 13:9
10and when that which is perfect may come, then that which is in part shall become useless.Select 1 Corinthians 13:10
11When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;Select 1 Corinthians 13:11
12for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;Select 1 Corinthians 13:12
13and now there doth remain faith, hope, love--these three; and the greatest of these is love.Select 1 Corinthians 13:13
