Letter to the Corinthians – St Paul

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
 
And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have not love,
I am nothing.
 
If I give away all I have,
and if I deliver my body to be burned,
but have not love,
I gain nothing.
 
Love is patient and kind;
love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude.
 
Love does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
 
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
 
Love never ends;
as for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will pass away.
 
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
 
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 gave up childish ways.
 
For now we see in a mirror dimly,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully,
even as I have been fully understood.
 
So faith,
hope,
love
abide, these three;
but the greatest of these
is love.”

 
– Saint Paul’s letter to Corinthians
