1 Corinthians 13:2-10
New American Standard Bible
2 If I have the gift of (A)prophecy and know all (B)mysteries and all (C)knowledge, and if I have (D)all faith so as to (E)remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I (F)give away all my possessions to charity, and if I (G)surrender my body so that I may [a]glory, but do not have love, it does me no good.
4 Love (H)is patient, love is kind, it (I)is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not (J)arrogant. 5 It does not act disgracefully, it (K)does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, (L)does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, 6 (M)it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but (N)rejoices with the truth; 7 it [b](O)keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of [c](P)prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are (Q)tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we (R)know in part and prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with.
