1 Corinthians 13:2-8
New International Version
2 If I have the gift of prophecy(A) and can fathom all mysteries(B) and all knowledge,(C) and if I have a faith(D) that can move mountains,(E) but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor(F) and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[a](G) but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient,(H) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.(I) 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,(J) it is not easily angered,(K) it keeps no record of wrongs.(L) 6 Love does not delight in evil(M) but rejoices with the truth.(N) 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.(O)
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,(P) they will cease; where there are tongues,(Q) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
