If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be wroth nothing at all without love. If I gave everything I have to poor people. and if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn’t love others. It would be of no value whatever.

Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way it is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notices when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.

2.   And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3.   And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4.   Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5.   Doth not behave itsefl unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6.   Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;   or, with the truth

7.   Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
