What if I could speak
all languages
of humans
and of angels?
If I did not love others,
I would be nothing more
than a noisy gong
or a clanging
cymbal.
What if I could prophesy
and understand all secrets
and all knowledge?
And what if I had faith
That
moved mountains?
I would be nothing,
unless I loved others.
What if I gave away all
that I owned
and let myself
be
burned alive?
I would gain nothing,
unless I loved others.
Love is kind and patient,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or rude.
Love isn't selfish
or quick tempered.
It doesn't keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
Love
rejoices in the truth,
but not in evil.
Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful and trusting.
For now there
are faith,
hope and love
But of these three
the greatest is love.
1 Corinthians 13.1-7,13
