1 If I speak human or angelic languagesbut do not have love, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteriesand all knowledge,and if I have all faithso that I can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,and if I give my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind.Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited,
5 does not act improperly,is not selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs.
6 Love finds no joy in unrighteousnessbut rejoices in the truth.
