13I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell.G1437G2980G1100G444G2532G32G1161G2192G3361G26G1096G2278G5475G2228G214G29502I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains - but if I have no love, I am nothing.G2532G1437G2192G4394G2532G1492G3956G3466G2532G3956G1108G2532G1437G2192G3956G4102G5620G3179G3735G1161G2192G3361G26G1510G37623I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned - but if I have no love, this does me no good.G2532G1437G5595G3956G3450G5224G5595G2532G1437G3860G3450G4983G2443G2545G1161G2192G3361G26G5623G37624Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud;G26G3114G5541G26G2206G3756G26G4068G3756G4068G5448G3756G54485love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs;G807G3756G807G2212G3756G1438G3947G3756G3947G3049G3756G25566love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.G5463G3756G1909G93G1161G4796G2257Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.G4722G3956G4100G3956G1679G3956G5278G39568Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues, but they will cease; there is knowledge, but it will pass.G26G3763G1601G1161G1535G4394G2673G1535G1100G3973G1535G1108G26739For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages are only partial;G1063G1097G1537G3313G2532G4395G1537G331310but when what is perfect comes, then what is partial will disappear.G1161G3752G5046G2064G5119G1537G3313G267311When I was a child, my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child; now that I am an adult, I have no more use for childish ways.G3753G2252G3516G2980G5613G3516G5426G5613G3516G3049G5613G3516G1161G3753G1096G435G2673G351612What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. What I know now is only partial; then it will be complete - as complete as God's knowledge of me.G1063G737G991G1223G2072G1722G135G1161G5119G4383G4314G4383G737G1097G1537G3313G1161G5119G1921G2531G2532G192113Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love.G1161G3570G3306G4102G1680G26G5023G5140G1161G3187G5130G26
