But concerning things offered to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but divine love builds up.

Divine love suffers long; divine love is kind; divine love envies not; does not make a display of itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself uncomely, seeks not its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but it rejoices in the truth; read more.
it bears all things, it believes all things, it hopes all things, it endures all things. Divine love never falls: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and prophesy in part: but when the perfect may come, that which is in part shall be done away. When I was an infant, I talked like an infant, I thought like an infant, I reasoned like an infant: when I became a man, I put away the things of the infant. For we now see through a mirror in an enigma; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know perfectly even as I am perfectly known. But now abide faith, hope, divine love, these three; but the greatest of these is divine love.

But the end of all things is at hand. Therefore be prudent, and sober unto prayers: before all things having divine love stedfast toward one another; because divine love covers a multitude of sins: being hospitable to one another without grudging;





But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, holiness; against such things there is no law.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs. Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that mourn: because they shall be comforted. read more.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: because they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: because they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: because they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God. Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs. Blessed are ye when they may despise you, and shall persecute you, and may say all evil against you, falsifying, for my sake.

And not only so, but let us also rejoice in tribulation; knowing that tribulation works out endurance; and endurance, approval; and approval, hope: and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.

If I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not divine love, I have become a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not divine love, I am nothing. And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I may give my body that I shall be burnt, and have not divine love, I am profited as to nothing. read more.

And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge; and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love. read more.
For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; for he unto whom these things are not present is blind, not seeing afar off, having received the forgetfulness of his purgation from his old sins.
