2 What if I could prophesyand understand all secretsand all knowledge?And what if I had faiththat moved mountains?I would be nothing,unless I loved others.
3 What if I gave away allthat I ownedand let myselfbe burnt alive?I would gain nothing,unless I loved others.
4 Love is kind and patient,never jealous, boastful,proud, or
5 rude.Love isn't selfishor quick-tempered.It doesn't keep a recordof wrongs that others do.
6 Love rejoices in the truth,but not in evil.
7 Love is always supportive,loyal, hopeful,and trusting.
8 Love never fails!Everyone who prophesieswill stop,and unknown languageswill no longerbe spoken.All that we knowwill be forgotten.
