Love: The Superior Way

13If I speak the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.G1437G2980G1100G444G2532G32G1161G2192G3361G26G1096G2278G5475G2228G214G29502If I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.G2532G1437G2192G4394G2532G1492G3956G3466G2532G3956G1108G2532G1437G2192G3956G4102G5620G3179G3735G1161G2192G3361G26G1510G37623And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.G2532G1437G5595G3956G3450G5224G5595G2532G1437G3860G3450G4983G2443G2545G1161G2192G3361G26G5623G37624Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited;G26G3114G5541G26G2206G3756G26G4068G3756G4068G5448G3756G54485does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrongs;G807G3756G807G2212G3756G1438G3947G3756G3947G3049G3756G25566finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth;G5463G3756G1909G93G1161G4796G2257bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.G4722G3956G4100G3956G1679G3956G5278G39568Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for languages, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.G26G3763G1601G1161G1535G4394G2673G1535G1100G3973G1535G1108G26739For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.G1063G1097G1537G3313G2532G4395G1537G331310But when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end.G1161G3752G5046G2064G5119G1537G3313G267311When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.G3753G2252G3516G2980G5613G3516G5426G5613G3516G3049G5613G3516G1161G3753G1096G435G2673G351612For now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, as I am fully known.G1063G737G991G1223G2072G1722G135G1161G5119G4383G4314G4383G737G1097G1537G3313G1161G5119G1921G2531G2532G192113Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.G1161G3570G3306G4102G1680G26G5023G5140G1161G3187G5130G26

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
