13 If I were to speak in the languages of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I have become just a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I had complete faith so that I could move mountains, but do not have love, then I amount to nothing. 3 If I give away all my possessions, and if I even give up my body, but do not have love, then I gain nothing.
    4 Love is patient and kind, and is not envious. Love does not brag and is not arrogant.  5 Love does not behave inappropriately, or seek its own way. Love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs.  6 Love does not rejoice in evil but rejoices in the truth.[1068] 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
    8 Love will never end. But the gift of prophecy will be done away with. The gift of languages will cease. The gift of knowledge will be set aside.  9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  10 but when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will be done away with.  11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, thought as a child, and reasoned as a child. Now that I am an adult I have put away those childish ways.  12 For now we see as if looking at a reflection in a mirror, but then[1069] we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I was fully known.  13 So now faith, hope, and love remain — these three. And the greatest of these is love.
