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 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.
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.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
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.
Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
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.
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.
