1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ Love is patient,^(A) love is kind. Love does not envy,^(B) is not boastful, is not arrogant,^{(C) 5} is not rude, is not self-seeking,^(D) is not irritable,^(E) and does not keep a record of wrongs. ⁶ Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.^{(F) 7} It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures^(G) all things.

⁸ Love never ends.^(H) But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. ⁹ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end. ¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things. ¹² For now we see only a reflection^[a] as in a mirror, but then face to face.^(I) Now I know in part, but then I will know fully,^(J) as I am fully known.^{(K) 13} Now these three remain: faith, hope,^(L) and love—but the greatest of these is love.
