1If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I have become resounding copper or a wailing cymbal.2And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.3And if I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.4Love is patient; love is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast; it is not puffed up.5It does not behave improperly; it does not seek its own interests; it is not provoked; it does not keep a record of evil.6It does not rejoice over unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth.7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8Love never fails. But as for prophecies, they will be set aside; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will be set aside.9For we know in part and we prophesy in part.10But when the perfect comes, what is in part will be set aside.11When 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 set aside the things of the child.12For now we see through a mirror in an obscure thing, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I have been fully known.13And now these three remain: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love.
