I f I sp eak w ith th e tongues of m en and of an g els, b u t have not love, I am become soun d in g b rass, or a clan g in g cym bal.

A n d if I bestow all my goods to feed th e p o o r, an d if I give my body to be b u rn ed , b u t have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is k in d ; love en vieth n o t; love v au n teth not itse lf, is not puffed u p.

I f I sp eak w ith th e tongues of m en and of an g els, b u t have not love, I am become soun d in g b rass, or a clan g in g cym bal. A n d if I have th e g ift of prop h ecy , and know all m ysteries and all k n o w led g e; a n d if I have a ll faith , so as to remove m o u n tains, b u t have n o t love, I am no th ing. A n d if I bestow all my goods to feed th e p o o r, an d if I give my body to be b u rn ed , b u t have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is k in d ; love en vieth n o t; love v au n teth not itse lf, is not puffed u p. D o th n o t behave itse lf unseem ly, seeketh n o t its own, is not provoked, ta k e th not ac count of e v il; R ejo iceth not in unrighteousness, b u t rejo ic eth w ith th e tr u th ; B e areth a ll th in g s, believeth all th in g s, h o p eth a ll th in g s, en d u reth all things. Love nev er fa ile th : but w hether th e re be p ro p h ecies, th e y sh all be done a w a y ; w h eth er th e re be tongues, th ey sh a ll c e a s e ; w h eth er th e re be know ledge, it shall be done aw ay. F o r we know in p a r t, an d we pro p h esy in p a r t: B u t w hen th a t w hich is p e rfe c t is come, th a t w hich is in p a r t sh all be done aw ay. W h en I w as a child, I spake as a child, I fe lt as a child, I th o u g h t as a c h ild : now th a t I am become a m an, I have p u t aw ay ch ild ish things. F o r now we see in a m irro r, d a rk ly ; but th e n face to face: now I know in p a r t; b u t th e n sh all I know fu lly even as also I w as fu lly know n. . B u t now ab id eth faith , hope, love, these th re e ; an d th e g re a te st o f these is love. W ild D u c k — “ N ow, t h e n , f e lle r s , m a k e a n o ise lik e a g a so lin e m o to r, a n d th o se f o o l h u n t e r s w i l l t h i n k w e ’r e a e r o p l a n e s !”
