1 Corinthians
Chapter 13

13:1 If I speak with the languages of men, and even of messengers, but do not have love*, I have become like noisy brass or a clanging cymbal.

13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and if I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so-then to remove mountains, but if I do not have love*, I am nothing.

13:3 And if I morsel out {i.e. give away little by little} all my possessions and if I give my body in order that I would be burned, but if I do not have love*, I am profited nothing.

13:4 Love* has patience. It is kind. Love* is not jealous. Love* does not brag. It is not arrogant.

13:5 It does not behave improperly. It does not seek its own. It is not irritated. It is not reasoning evil.

13:6 It is not rejoicing in unrighteousness, but is rejoicing together with the truth.

13:7 It is forbearing all things, is believing all things, is hoping for all things, is enduring all things.

13:8 Love* never falls short.
But if there are prophecies, they will be done-away; if there are foreign languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done-away.



13:9 But we know partially and we prophesy partially;

13:10 but whenever the completed thing comes, then what is partially will be done-away.

13:11 When I was an infant, I was speaking like an infant, I had the mindset like that of an infant, I was reasoning like an infant. But when I became a man, I have done-away-with the things of the infant.

13:12 For* now we see through a mirror, in an enigma {i.e. dimly} , but then face to face. I know now partially, but then I will fully know just-as I was also fully known.



13:13 But these three are remaining now: faith, hope, love*, and the greater of these is love*.
