1 Corinthians 13:7-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

9. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10. but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

11. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

12. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
