31But strivek for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

Love, the More Excellent Way

13If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a ringing brass gong or a clashing cymbal. 2And if I have the gift of prophecy and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3And if I parcel out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body in order that I will be burned,a but do not have love, it benefits me nothing.
