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."
