New International Reader's Version

1 Corinthians 13:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Suppose I speak in the languages of human beings and of angels. If I don't have love, I am only a loud gong or a noisy cymbal.

2. Suppose I have the gift of prophecy. Suppose I can understand all the secret things of God and know everything about him. And suppose I have enough faith to move mountains. If I don't have love, I am nothing at all.

3. Suppose I give everything I have to poor people. And suppose I give my body to be burned. If I don't have love, I get nothing at all.

4. Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud.
