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; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.      9: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;      10: but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.      11: When 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 gave up childish ways.      12: For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.      13: So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians, chapter 13 Read another passage about love
