1 Corinthians 13
1 If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't
others,
I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal.
2If I had the gift of prophecy,
and if I knew all the mysteries of the future
and knew everything about everything,
but didn't
others, what good would I be?
And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move,
without
I would be no good to anybody.
3If I gave everything I have to the poor
and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;
but if I didn't
others,
I would be of no value whatsoever.
4
is patient and kind.
is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude.
does not demand its own way.
is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.
6
is never glad about injustice
but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
7
never gives up,
never loses faith,
is always hopeful,
and endures through every circumstance.
8
will last forever,
but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will all disappear.
9Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little!
10But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear.
11It's like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
12Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.
All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now.
13There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and
--and the greatest of these is
.
and blessings to all!
