Love (A)is patient, love is kind, (B)is not jealous, does not brag, is not (C)puffed up; it does not act unbecomingly, (D)does not seek its own, is not provoked, (E)does not take into account a wrong suffered; (F)it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but (G)rejoices with the truth; [a](H)it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails, but if there are gifts of [b](I)prophecy, they will be done away; if there are (J)tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.

Love never comes to an end. There is the gift of speaking what God has revealed, but it will no longer be used. There is the gift of speaking in other languages, but it will stop by itself. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will no longer be used.
