Love Is the Greatest
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
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 do not have love, I am nothing.
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
