If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without
love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift
of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing
everything, and if I have faith in all its fulness, to move mountains, but
without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess,
piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am
without love, it will do me no good whatever.
Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never
boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take
offence, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's
sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to
hope, and to endure whatever comes.
