LOVE is patient, love is kind.
LOVE does not envy,
is not boastful, is not conceited,
|
 |
does not act improperly,
is not selfish, is not provoked,
and does not keep a record of wrongs.
|
 |
LOVE finds no joy in unrighteousness
but rejoices in the truth.
|
 |
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
|
 |
| Love never ends. LOVE NEVER FAILS. |
 |
Now these three remain:
faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is LOVE.
|
 |
| Love never fails -- front... |
 |
| Lover never fails -- back... |
If I speak human or angelic languages but do not have love,
I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains
but do not have love, I am nothing.
And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I give my body in order to boast
but do not have love, I gain nothing.
(1 Corinthians 13:1-3, HCSB)
