1 Corinthians 12:28-13:3

English Standard Version

²⁸ And ^(A)God has appointed in the church first ^(B)apostles, second ^(C)prophets, third teachers, then ^(D)miracles, then ^(E)gifts of healing, ^(F)helping, ^(G)administrating, and ^(H)various kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? ³⁰ Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? ³¹ But ^(I)earnestly desire the higher gifts.

And I will show you a still more excellent way.

The Way of Love

13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. ² And if I have ^(J)prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, ^(K)so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ^3 (L)If I give away all I have, and ^(M)if I deliver up my body to be burned,^[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.
