2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.


1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.


1 Corinthians 13


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


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


5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
