If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.

but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
