1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up,
5 does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
6 rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
