1 Corinthians 13:4–13
4 Love is patient, w love is kind.
Love does not envy, x
is not boastful, is not conceited, y
is not selfish, z is not provoked, a
and does not keep a record of wrongs.
6 Love finds no joy in unrighteousness
but rejoices in the truth. b
7 It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures c all things.
8 Love never ends. d
But as for prophecies,
they will come to an end;
as for languages, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will come to an end.
and we prophesy in part.
10 But when the perfect comes,
the partial will come to an end.
I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put aside childish things.
12 For now we see indistinctly, e as in a mirror, f
but then face to face. g
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully, h
as I am fully known. i
faith, hope, j and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
