1 Corinthians 13:1-7 ▼

1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of messengers, and do not have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;

2 and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and do not have love, I am nothing;

3 and if I give away all my goods to feed others, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and do not have love, I am profited nothing.

4 Love is long-suffering, it is kind, love does not envy, love does not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

5 does not act unseemly, does not seek its own things, is not provoked, does not impute evil,

6 [does] not rejoice over unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth;

7 it bears all things, it believes all, it hopes all, it endures all.
