1 Corinthians 13: 4 - 13
4
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
5
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
7
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
9
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
10
but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
11
When 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 gave up childish ways.
12
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.
13
So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
