1 Corinthians - Chapter 13

	1Cr 13:1	If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
	1Cr 13:2	If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
	1Cr 13:3	And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body [fn]to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
	1Cr 13:4	Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
	1Cr 13:5	does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
	1Cr 13:6	does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
	1Cr 13:7	[fn]bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
	1Cr 13:8	Love never fails; but if there are gifts of [fn]prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
	1Cr 13:9	For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
	1Cr 13:10	but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.
	1Cr 13:11	When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I [fn]became a man, I did away with childish things.
	1Cr 13:12	For now we see in a mirror [fn]dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
	1Cr 13:13	But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the [fn]greatest of these is love.
