1 Corinthians 13:1-7 ▼

1 I may speak in the languages of humans and of angels. But if I don't have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal.

2 I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don't have love, I am nothing.

3 I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned. But if I don't have love, none of these things will help me.

4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn't jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't arrogant.

5 It isn't rude. It doesn't think about itself. It isn't irritable. It doesn't keep track of wrongs.

6 It isn't happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth.

7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.
