2. If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
3. If I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.
4. Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up,
5. does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
6. rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7. bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
8. Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they shall fail; if there are tongues, they shall cease; and if there is knowledge, it shall vanish.
