LOOKAGAIN:PaulsLetters EPISTLELESSON LeahGrundsetDavis 1Corinthians13 EdgarPalacios

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clangingcymbal.2AndifIhavepropheticpowers,andunderstandallmysteriesandallknowledge,and ifIhaveallfaith,soastoremovemountains,butdonothavelove,Iamnothing.3IfIgiveawayallmy possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Loveispatient;loveiskind;loveisnotenviousorboastfulorarrogant5orrude.Itdoesnotinsistonits ownway;itisnotirritableorresentful;6itdoesnotrejoiceinwrongdoing,butrejoicesinthetruth.7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8Love never ends. But as for prophecies,theywillcometoanend;asfortongues,theywillcease;asforknowledge,itwillcometo anend.9Forweknowonlyinpart,andweprophesyonlyinpart;10butwhenthecompletecomes,the partialwillcometoanend.11WhenIwasachild,Ispokelikeachild,Ithoughtlikeachild,Ireasoned likeachild;whenIbecameanadult,Iputanendtochildishways.12Fornowweseeinamirror,dimly, butthenwewillseefacetoface.NowIknowonlyinpart;thenIwillknowfully,evenasIhavebeen fully known.13And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
