1 Corinthians 13:1-8
The first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians
|
1 |
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
|
2 |
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. |
|
3 |
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. |
|
4 |
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; |
|
5 |
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; |
|
6 |
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. |
|
7 |
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. |
|
8 |
Love never ends. |
