⁴Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not boast, it does not become conceited, ⁵it does not behave dishonorably, it is not selfish^b, it does not become angry, it does not keep a record of wrongs, ⁶it does not rejoice at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth, ⁷bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will pass away. If there are tongues, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰but whenever the perfect comes, the partial 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 set aside the things of a child. ¹²For now we see through a mirror indirectly^c, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know completely, just as I have also been completely known. ¹³And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Read in Logos

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.
