“I may speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but if I am 
without love,I am a sounding gong, or a clanging cymbal.

I may have the gift of prophecy, and know every hidden truth;
I may have faith strong enough to move mountains; but if I have
  no love, I am nothing.

I may dole out all I possess, or even give my body to be burnt,
but I have not love, I am none the better.

Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;

Never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love keeps no score
of wrongs; does not gloat over other men’s sins, but delights
in the truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no
limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance.

Love will never come to an end. Are there prophets? Their work
will be over.

Are there tongues of ecstasy? They will cease.

Is there knowledge? It will vanish away; for our knowledge
and our prophecy alike are partial, and the partial vanishes
when wholeness comes.

When I was a child, my speech, my outlook, and my thoughts
were all childish. When I grew up, I had finished with childish things.

Now we see only puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we
shall see face to face.

My knowledge now is partial; then it will be whole, like God’s knowledge of me.

In a word, there are three things that last for ever : 
Faith, Hope, and Love; but the greatest of them all is
LOVE”.
I Corinthians 13)
