Love
“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the
greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV
Love suffers long and
is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek
its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never
fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there
are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will
vanish away. For we know in
part and we prophesy in part. But
when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done
away.
When I was a
child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but
when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but
then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am
known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of
these is love.
