1 Corinthians 13:3

Love, The More Excellent Way

² And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me. ⁴ Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;
