13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of messengers, but do not have love*, I have become like noisy brass or a clanging cymbal.
13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and if I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so-then to remove mountains, but if I do not have love*, I am nothing.
13:3 And if I handout all of my possessions and if I give my body that* I will be burned, but if I do not have love*, it profits me nothing.
13:4 Love* is patient and is kind. Love* is not jealous. Love* does not brag, is not arrogant,
13:5 does not behave improperly, does not seek its own, does not irritate, does not reason evil,
13:6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.
13:7 Love * forbears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
13:8 Love* never* falls short.
But if there are prophesies, they will be done-away; if there are foreign languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done-away.
13:9 But we know in part and we prophesy in part;
13:10 but whenever the finished thing comes, then what is in part will be done-away.
13:11 When I was an infant, I spoke like an infant, I had the mind-set like that of an infant, I reasoned like an infant. Now that I have become a man, I have done-away-with the things of the infant.
13:12 For* now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. I know now in part, but then I will fully know just-as I was also fully known.
13:13 But these three are remaining now: faith, hope, love*, and the greatest of these is love*.
