⁴Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous of others; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up, ⁵does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil, ⁶does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth, ⁷bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away. ⁹For we know in part, and we prophesy in part: ¹⁰but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away. ¹¹When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child. ¹²For we see now through a dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known. ¹³And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:11: 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.
