The
Excellence of Love |
|
|
 |
|
1 Corinthians 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 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. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:3
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:4
|
|
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant, |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:5
|
|
does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek
its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:6
|
|
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices
with the truth; |
| |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:7
|
|
bears all things, believes all things, hopes
all things, endures all things. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:8
|
|
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of
prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there
is knowledge, it will be done away. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:9
|
|
For we know in part and we prophesy in part; |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:10
|
|
but when the perfect comes, the partial will
be done away. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:11
|
|
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child,
think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with
childish things. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:12
|
|
For now we see in a mirror 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. |
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 13:13
|
|
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three;
but the greatest of these is love. |
