1 Corinthians 13 - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

1 but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;

51 Cor 10.24. it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

6it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.

71 Cor 9.12. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures 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.

9For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;

10but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.

11When 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.

12For 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.

13So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
