1 Corinthians 13:2

Love, The More Excellent Way

¹ Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal. ² Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it avails me nothing.
