What Does Love Have To Do With it?
1 Corinthians 13:1-8
Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, and have not
charity, I am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and though I have
all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have not charity, I am
Nothing. And though I bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and though I
give my body to be burned, and have
not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave
itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is
not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in
the truth; Beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things. Charity never faileth: but whether
there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether
there be tongues, they shall cease; whether
there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
