Love...

If I can speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the ability to reveal the word of God and understand all mysteries; if I have all the knowledge and all the faith, I can move mountains, but I have no love, I am nothing. Even if I give away all my possessions, and if I give my body to be burned, if I do not have love, it will do me no good.


Love is patient and kind. Not jealous, boastful or haughty, not rude in behavior, not selfish, not angry or resentful. It does not delight in evil deeds but rejoices in the truth. Love is patient, trustworthy, full of love, full of hope and persevering to the end.
