If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 1Pe 4:81Ti 1:5Gal 5:221Co 13:8Gal 5:61Co 13:2-31Co 8:12Pe 2:18 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. 1Jn 4:81Co 13:31Jn 4:20-21Mat 17:20Mat 21:211Co 16:221Co 12:8-101Co 13:1 If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 1Pe 4:8Eph 4:32Gal 5:21-22Pro 10:12Col 3:121Jn 4:11Pro 17:9Jas 3:14-17 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 1Co 10:24Php 2:3-51Jn 3:16-17Jas 1:19Php 2:21Gal 6:1-2Php 4:8Rom 15:1-2 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; Rom 12:93Jn 1:3-42Jn 1:4Rom 1:322Th 2:12Hos 4:8Pro 14:9Luk 19:41-42 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. 1Pe 4:81Co 13:41Pe 2:242Ti 2:24Pro 10:12Gal 6:21Co 9:12Sng 8:6-7
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 1Co 13:131Co 13:1-2Gal 5:61Co 13:10Act 2:4Heb 8:131Co 12:101Co 12:28-30 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; Col 2:2-3Eph 3:18-191Co 2:9Psa 139:61Co 13:121Co 8:2Job 11:7-8Mat 11:27 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. 1Co 13:12Isa 60:19-202Co 5:7-8Isa 24:23Rev 22:4-5Rev 21:22-23 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. 1Co 14:201Co 3:1-2Gal 4:1Ecc 11:10 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known. 1Jn 3:22Co 3:181Co 13:9-10Php 3:12Rev 22:42Co 5:7Mat 5:8Jas 1:23 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love. 1Co 16:14Col 3:141Jn 4:7-181Co 13:1-8Gal 5:6Mrk 12:29-31Php 1:9Lam 3:21-26
