| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love. |
