Love expounded

1Cor 13:1–13

13:1 Love expounded

13Even if I could speak in human languages as well as the languages of God’s messengers, but didn’t love others, then I’d just be like a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2And if have the ability of being able to prophesy and could understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I had total faith so I could tell mountains to move, but I didn’t love others, then I’m of no use to anyone.[ref] 3Even if I gave everything I have to the poor, and even sacrifice my body so that I could boast, but didn’t love others, it wouldn’t be any use to me.

4Love is patient and kind. It doesn’t envy others, it doesn’t boast, and it isn’t arrogant. 5It isn’t crude, it doesn’t just care about itself, it doesn’t get angry quickly, and it doesn’t keep records about who wrongs us. 6Love isn’t happy with disobeying God, but is happy about the truth. 7It tolerates everything, believes everything, is always hopeful about everything, and always perseveres.

8Love never fails, unlike prophecies that will come to nothing, languages that will die out, and knowledge that also will come to nothing, 9because we only have partial knowledge and partial understanding of prophecy. 10So when perfection comes, partial things will disappear.

11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child, but then when I became an adult, I set childish things aside. 12In this present age, we see like fuzzy reflections in a mirror, but in the future, we’ll see God face to face. In this age, I have partial knowledge, but then it’ll be complete, just like we’ll be known completely.

13But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and love, but love is the greatest one of those.
