1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Greek irritable and does not count up wrongdoing} 6 it ^hdoes not rejoice at wrongdoing, but ⁱrejoices with the truth. 7 ^jLove bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things ^kendures 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 ^lwe know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but ^mwhen 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 ⁿnow we see in a mirror dimly, but ^othen face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as ^pI have been fully known.

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