1 THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love in my heart, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love in my heart, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love in my heart, I gain nothing. 4 Love is long-suffering and is kind; love does not envy; love does not make a vain display of itself, and does not boast, 5 Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; 6 Rejoices not over injustice, but rejoices in the truth; 7 Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7, Lamsa Bible.
