2 And though I have the gift of aprophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, bso that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 And athough I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body1 to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 aLove suffers long and is bkind; love cdoes not envy; love does not parade itself, is not1 puffed up;
5 does not behave rudely, adoes not seek its own, is not provoked,1 thinks no evil;
6 adoes not rejoice in iniquity, but brejoices in the truth;
7 abears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
9 aFor we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is1 perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For anow we see in a mirror, dimly, but then bface to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
