1 Corinthians 13:1-7 ▼

1 If I speak in the languages of humans and angels but have no love, I have become a reverberating gong or a clashing cymbal.

2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing.

3 Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself, but have no love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is always patient; love is always kind; love is never envious or arrogant with pride. Nor is she conceited,

5 and she is never rude; she never thinks just of herself or ever gets annoyed. She never is resentful;

6 is never glad with sin; she's always glad to side with truth, and pleased that truth will win.

7 She bears up under everything; believes the best in all; there is no limit to her hope, and never will she fall.
