What Does the Bible Say About Love? - Part 1

<sup>I Corinthians 13

1</sup>Though I speak withthe tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become assounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
 ²Andthough I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, andall knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could removemountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
 ³Andthough I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give mybody to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
 ⁴Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
 ⁵Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
 ⁶Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
 ⁷Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
 ⁸Charitynever faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge,it shall vanish away.
 ⁹For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
 ¹⁰But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
 ¹¹When I was a child, Ispake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: butwhen I became a man, I put away childish things.
 ¹²Fornow we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I knowin part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
 ¹³And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
