1 Corinthians 13:1-7

1  If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

2  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3  If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
