1 Corinthians 13:3

Love, The More Excellent Way

² If I have the gift of prophecy
and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith
so that I can move mountains
but do not have love, I am nothing.
³ And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I give my body in order to boast
but do not have love, I gain nothing.
⁴ Love is patient, love is kind.
Love does not envy,
is not boastful, is not conceited,
