1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have been the brass of echoes, and the shouting cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. 3 And if I feed out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing. 4 Love is slow to anger, possesses kindness; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, 5 It demeans itself not unbecomingly, seeks not the things of itself, is not irritated, reckons no evil; 6 Rejoices not at injustice, and rejoices with the truth; 7 Covers all things, believes all, hopes all things, endures all. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
