1 Corinthians 13
NASB
1 Cor 13:1
&
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
1 Cor 13:2
&
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.
1 Cor 13:3
&
And if I give all my possessions to feed {the poor,} and if I surrender my body (Early mss read {that I may boast}) to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
1 Cor 13:4
&
Love is patient, love is kind {and} is not jealous; love does not brag {and} is not arrogant,
1 Cor 13:5
&
does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong {suffered,}
1 Cor 13:6
&
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
1 Cor 13:7
&
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Cor 13:8
&
Love never fails; but if {there are gifts of} prophecy, they will be done away; if {there are} tongues, they will cease; if {there is} knowledge, it will be done away.
1 Cor 13:9
&
For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
1 Cor 13:10
&
but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.
1 Cor 13:11
&
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
1 Cor 13:12
&
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
1 Cor 13:13
&
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
