3. Suppose I give everything I have to poor people. And suppose I give my body to be burned. If I don't have love, I get nothing at all.
4. Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud.
5. It is not rude. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people's wrongs.
6. Love is not happy with evil. But it is full of joy when the truth is spoken.
7. It always protects. It always trusts. It always hopes. It never gives up.
8. Love never fails. But prophecy will pass away. Speaking in languages that had not been known before will end. And knowledge will pass away.
