1 Corinthians 13:1-8

The Way of Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2And if I have aprophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, bso as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 cIf I give away all I have, and dif I deliver up my body to be burned,
Some manuscripts  deliver up my body [to death] that I may boast
but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 fLove is patient and gkind; love hdoes not envy or boast; it iis not arrogant 5or rude. It jdoes not insist on its own way; it kis not irritable or resentful;
Greek  irritable and does not count up wrongdoing
6it mdoes not rejoice at wrongdoing, but nrejoices with the truth. 7 oLove bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, pendures all things.

8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
