1. If I speak with the tongues of men and of messengers, but do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2. And if I have prophecy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all belief, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am none at all.
3. And if I give out all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, I am not profited at all.
4. Love is patient, is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, is not puffed up,
5. does not behave indecently, does not seek its own, is not provoked, reckons not the evil,
