1 corinthians 13 (NMV)
1 If I speak in the tongues of people and of angels, but do not have love, I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, enough to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give away all my possessions to the poor, and if I give my body over to hardship so that I may boast, but do not have 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 does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth.
7 It bears all things, believes all things, confidently expects all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will stop; where there is knowledge, it will fade away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
10 but when completeness comes, what is partial will be set aside.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I set aside childish things.
12 For now we see only a blurred reflection, as in a mirror; but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part; then I will know fully, just as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, confident expectation, and love, but the greatest of these is love.
