If I speak in
the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only
a
ringing
gong
or a clanging cymbal.
If I speak with
the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become
sounding
brass,

If I have the gift of prophecy and can
fathom
all mysteries and all knowledge ,
and if I have absolute
faith so as to move
mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

the gift of '

If I give
all I
possess
to the poor and exult
in
the
surrender
of
my body, but have not love, I
gain
nothing.

if I bestow
all my
goods
to feed
`
the poor ',
and if
I
give
my body to
be
burned
, but have not love, it
profiteth
me
nothing.

patient
, love
is kind .
It
does
not envy,
it
does
not boast
, it
is not proud.

long

is kind ;
love
envieth
not ;
love
vaunteth
not itself
, is not puffed
up,
It
is
not rude
, it
is
not self-seeking
, it
is not easily
angered
, it
keeps
no
account of wrongs.
doth
not behave
itself
unseemly
, seeketh
not its
own
, is not provoked
, taketh
not
account of evil;
Love
takes
no
pleasure
in evil
, but rejoices
in
the truth .

not
in unrighteousness
, but rejoiceth
with
the truth ;
It
bears
all things, believes
all things, hopes
all things, endures
all things.
beareth
all things, believeth
all things, hopeth
all things, endureth
all things.
Love never fails.
But where
there are
prophecies, they will
cease
; where
there are
tongues, they will
be
restrained
; where
there is
knowledge, it will
be dismissed
.
Love never faileth:
but whether
`
there be'
prophecies, they shall
be
done
away
; whether
`
there be'
tongues, they shall
cease
; whether
`
there be'
knowledge, it shall
be done
away
.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part ,
For we know in part ,
and we prophesy in part ;
but when the
perfect comes
, the
partial
passes
away.
but when that
which
is
perfect is
come
, that
which
is
in
part
shall
be
done
away.
When I was a child, I talked
like
a child, I thought
like
a child, I reasoned
like
a child .
When
I became
a man, I set
aside
childish ways
.
When I was a child, I spake
as
a child, I felt
as
a child, I thought
as
a child :
now
that
I am
become
a man, I have
put
away
childish things
.
Now we see but
a
dim
reflection
as
in a mirror; then we
shall
see
face to face .
Now I know in part; then I
shall know fully ,
even as I am
fully known.
For
now we see in a mirror ,
darkly
; but
then face to face :
now I know in part; but
then shall I
know fully even as also
I was
fully known.
And
now these
three
remain:
faith, hope, and
love; but
the greatest of these is love.
But
now abideth
faith, hope, love ,
these
three
; and
the greatest of these is love.
