1 CORINTHIANS 13 NEW ENGLISH BIBLE (NEB)
1 I may speak in tongues of men or of angels, but if I am without love, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 I may have the gift of prophecy, and know every hidden truth; I may have faith strong enough to move mountains; but if I have no love, I am nothing.
3 I may dole out all I possess, or even give my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I am none the better.
4 Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited,
5 nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love keeps no score of wrongs;
6 does not gloat over other men's sins, but delights in the truth.
7 There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance.
8 Love will never come to an end. Are there prophets? their work will be over. Are there tongues of ecstasy? they will cease. Is there knowledge? it will vanish away;
9 for our knowledge and our prophecy alike are partial,
10 and the partial vanishes when wholeness comes.
11 When I was a child, my speech, my outlook, and my thoughts were all childish. When I grew up, I had finished with childish things.
12 Now we see only puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we shall see face to face. My knowledge now is partial; then it will be whole, like God's knowledge of me.
13 In a word, there are three things that last for ever: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of them all is love.
