A New Look at Love - 1st Corinthians 13

This is chapter 13 of first Corinthians chapter which is Paul's first letter to the Corinthians.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am become a 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 love, 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 love, it profiteth me nothing.

Love suffereth long and is kind.

Love envieth not.

Love 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 truth.

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, and endureth all things.

Love never faileth, but where there be prophecies, they shall fail.

Whether there be tongues, they shall cease.

Whether there be knowledge, it shall pass away.

shall vanish away, excuse me.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child.

I understood as a child.

I thought as a child.

But when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face.

Now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, and love, these three.

But the greatest of these is love.

So, that is 1 Corinthians 13.
