1. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2. And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3. If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.
4. Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.
5. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.
6. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.
7. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
