1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding bronze, or a clanging cymbal. 2And 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. 3And if I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and if I deliver up my body that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 4Love suffers long, it is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, 5does not behave itself unseemly, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take account of evil; 6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8Love never fails: but if [there are] prophecies, they will be done away; if [there are] tongues, they will cease; if [there is] knowledge, it will be done away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part will be done away. 11When I was a juvenile, I spoke as a juvenile, I felt as a juvenile, I thought as a juvenile: now that I have become a man, I have put away juvenile things. 12For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I will know fully even as also I was fully known. 13But now these three stay: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love.
