1 Corinthians 13

1 Corinthians 13, verse 1. ¹Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 2. ²And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 3. ³And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 4. ⁴Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 1 Corinthians 13, verse 5. ⁵does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 1 Corinthians 13, verse 6. ⁶does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 1 Corinthians 13, verse 7. ⁷bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 8. ⁸Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 9. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 10. ¹⁰But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 11. ¹¹When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 12. ¹²For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 1 Corinthians 13, verse 13. ¹³And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
