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.
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.
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor,
and if I surrender my body to be burned,
but do not have love,
it profits me nothing.

Love is patient,
love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not rejoice in wrong,
but rejoices with the truth;
love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.

Love never fails.

Corinthians 13
