If I speak
with the atongues
of men
and of bangels
, but do not have
love
, I have become
a noisy
gong
or
a cclanging
cymbal
.
If I have
the gift of aprophecy
, and know
all
bmysteries
and all
cknowledge
; and if
I have
dall
faith
, so
as to eremove
mountains
, but do not have
love
, I am
nothing
.
And if I agive
all
my possessions
to feed
the poor, and if
I bsurrender
my body
1to be burned
, but do not have
love
, it profits
me nothing
.
Love ais patient
, love
is kind
and bis not jealous
; love
does not brag
and is not carrogant
,
does not act unbecomingly
; it adoes not seek
its own
, is not provoked
, bdoes not take
into account
a wrong
suffered,
adoes not rejoice in unrighteousness
, but brejoices
with the truth
;
1 abears all
things
, believes
all
things
, hopes
all
things
, endures
all
things
.
Love never
fails
; but if
there are gifts of 1 aprophecy
, they will be done
away
; if
there are btongues
, they will cease
; if
there is knowledge
, it will be done
away
.
For we aknow in part
and we prophesy
in part
;
but when the perfect
comes
, the partial
will be done
away
.
When I was a child
, I used to speak
like
a child
, think
like
a child
, reason
like
a child
; when
I 1became
a man
, I did
away
with childish
things.
For now we asee
in a mirror
1dimly
, but then
bface
to face
; now
I know
in part
, but then
I will know
fully
just
as I also
chave been fully
known
.
But now faith
, hope
, love
, abide
these
three
; but the 1greatest
of these
is alove
.
