• The Excellence of Love

  • |1 Coríntios 13:1| If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not1 love [for others growing out of God's love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction].

  • |1 Coríntios 13:2| And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing.

  • |1 Coríntios 13:3| If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body2 to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all.

  • |1 Coríntios 13:4| Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.

  • |1 Coríntios 13:5| It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured.

  • |1 Coríntios 13:6| It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail].

  • |1 Coríntios 13:7| Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].

  • |1 Coríntios 13:8| Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away.

  • |1 Coríntios 13:9| For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete].

  • |1 Coríntios 13:10| But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away.
