< 1 Corinthians 13 >
1 If in the tongues of men I shall speak and of angels, love however not may have, I have become a brass sounding or a cymbal clanging.
2 And if I shall have prophecy and understand the mysteries all and all the knowledge, And if I shall have all the faith so as mountains to remove, love however not may have, no [thing] I am.
3 Even if Even if I shall give away all the possessions of mine, And if I shall deliver up the body of mine that (I may boast, *N(K)(o)*) love however not may have, no [thing] I am profited.
4 Love is patient, is kind, love not is envious, love not is boastful, not is puffed up,
5 not acts unbecomingly, not seeks the [things] of its own, not is easily provoked, not it keeps account of wrongs,
6 not delights at unrighteousness, rejoices however in the truth,
7 All things it bears, all things believes, all things hopes, all things endures.
8 Love never (falls. *N(k)O*) if however [there are] prophesies, they will be abated; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge it will be abated.
9 In part (for *NK(o)*) we know and in part we prophesy;
10 when however may come the perfect, (then *K*) the in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I was speaking like a child, I was thinking like a child, I was reasoning like a child; when (now *k*) I became a man, I have done away with the [things] of the child.
12 We see for presently through a glass in obscurity, then however face to face; presently I know in part, then however I will know fully even as also I have been fully known.
13 Now however abide faith, hope, love, three these; [the] greatest however of these [is] love.
