RKJNT - I Corinthians - 13

13:1  If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal.

13:2  And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so that I can remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

13:3  And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

13:4  Love is patient, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, and is not arrogant;

13:5  It is not rude, does not insist on its own way, is not easily provoked, it keeps no account of wrongs suffered;

13:6  It does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in the truth;

13:7  Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

13:8  Love never fails: but where there are prophecies, they shall pass away; where there are tongues, they shall cease; where there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.

13:9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

13:10  But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is partial shall pass away.

13:11  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

13:12  For now we see in a mirror dimly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13:13  And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
