The Greatest Thing In The World
1 If I speak with the (A) tongues of men and of (B) angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a (C) clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of (D) prophecy, and know all (E) mysteries and all (F) knowledge; and if I have (G) all faith, so as to (H) remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 And if I (I) give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I (J) surrender my body [a] to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love (K) is patient, love is kind and (L) is not jealous; love does not brag and is not (M) arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it (N) does not seek its own, is not provoked, (O) does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 (P) does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but (Q) rejoices with the truth; 7 (R) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of (S) prophecy, they will be done away; if there are (T) tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
9 For we (U) know in part and we prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
12 For now we (V) see in a mirror dimly, but then (W) face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also (X) have been fully known.
13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is (Y) love.
-I Corinthians 13:1-13
