13:1 The
Greatest Gift Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a
clanging cymbal.
2 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, but have not
love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed
the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not
love, it profits me nothing.
1) Love
suffers long
2)
and is kind;
3) love
does not envy;
4) love
does not parade itself, is not puffed
up;
5) does
not behave rudely,
6) does
not seek its own,
7) is not
provoked,
8) thinks
no evil;
9) does
not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
11) bears
all things,
12)
believes all things,
13)
hopes all things,
14)
endures all
things.
15) Love
never fails.
But whether there are prophecies, they
will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether
there is knowledge, it will vanish away. |
