1 Corinthians - Chapter 13 |
| |
  
   | 1Cr 13:1 | If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
| 1Cr 13:2 | And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. |
| 1Cr 13:3 | If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. |
| 1Cr 13:4 | Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; |
| 1Cr 13:5 | it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; |
| 1Cr 13:6 | it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. |
| 1Cr 13:7 | Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. |
| 1Cr 13:8 | Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. |
| 1Cr 13:9 | For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; |
| 1Cr 13:10 | but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. |
| 1Cr 13:11 | When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. |
| 1Cr 13:12 | For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. |
| 1Cr 13:13 | So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. |
