1 Corinthians 13:1-8

1 If I speak with the tongues of people and of angels,

but I do not have love,
I have become [as] brass sounding or a cymbal tinkling.
2 And if I am having [the gift of] prophecy and know all secrets and all knowledge,
and if I am having all faith so as to be removing mountains,
and have not love, I am nothing.
3 And if I dole out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I am burned,
but am not having love,
I am not at all benefited.
4 Love waits patiently; it acts kindly.
Love does not envy [or, is not jealous];
love does not boast;
it does not become haughty.
5 It does not behave disgracefully;
it does not seek its own [things];
it is not provoked [or, irritated];
it does not keep a record of evil.
6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness,
but it rejoices with the truth.
7 It puts up with all [things],
believes all,
hopes [or, confidently expects] all,
endures all.
8 Love never fails.
But if [there be] prophecies, they will become useless;
if tongues, they will cease by themselves;
if knowledge, it will become useless.
