(A)If I give away all I have, and (B)if I deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.

(C)Love is patient and (D)kind; love (E)does not envy or boast; it (F)is not arrogant or rude. It (G)does not insist on its own way; it (H)is not irritable or resentful;[b] it (I)does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but (J)rejoices with the truth. (K)Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, (L)endures all things.
