1 Corinthians 13:4–14:1

4 Love ais patient, love is kind and bis not jealous; love does not brag and is not carrogant,

5 does not act unbecomingly; it adoes not seek its own, is not provoked, bdoes not take into account a wrong suffered,

6 adoes not rejoice in unrighteousness, but brejoices with the truth;

7 1abears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of 1aprophecy, they will be done away; if there are btongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

9 For we aknow in part and we prophesy in part;

10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I 1became a man, I did away with childish things.

12 For now we asee in a mirror 1dimly, but then bface to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also chave been fully known.

13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the 1greatest of these is alove.
