The Hopeless Journal
1 Corinthians 13
Love 1 Corinthians 13

1What if I could speak
all languages of humans
---and of angels?
If i did not love others,
---I would be nothing more
than a noisey gong
---or a clanging symbol.

2What if I could prophesy
and understand all secrets
---and all knowledge?
And what if I had faith
---that moved mountains?
I would be nothing,
---unless I loved others.

3What if I gave away all
---that I owned
and let myself
---be burned alive?u
I would gain nothing,
---unless I loved others.

4Love is kind and patient,
never jealous, boastful,
---proud, or 5 rude.
Love isn't selfish
---or quick tempered.
It doesn't keep a record
---of wrongs that others do.

6Love rejoices in the truth,
---but not in evil.

7Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful,
---and trusting.

8Love never fails!


Everyone who prophesies
---will stop,
and unknown languages
will no longer
---be spoken.
All that we know
---will be forgotten.

9We don't know everything,
and our prophecies
---are not complete.

10But what is perfect
---will someday appear,
and what isn't perfect
---will then disappear.


11When we were childern,
we thought and reasoned
---as childern do.
But when we grow up,
---we quit our childish ways.

12Now all we can see of God
is like a cloudy picture
---in a mirror.
Later we will see him
---face to face.
We don't know everything,
---but then we will,
just as God completely
---understands us.

13For now there are faith,
---hope, and love.
But of these three,
...the greatest is love.

u - and let myself be burned alive: Some manuscripts have "so that I could brag."

I like Psalms and Job.

It's a funny story--

During our class Reconciliations, I used to race my friends to read the whole book of Job or Tobit.

If you do that, then you have to read Song of Songs without laughing. The impossible task when you're supposed to be quiet in Church and the verses are so ridiculous!

Hope I'm not bothering you by commenting in your journal... sweatdrop
