Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into man's heart The things which God has prepared For those who love him.

Now in regard to food which has been offered to idols, we are sure of course that "we all have knowledge." But knowledge puffs up, while love builds up.

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.

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.

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.

Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,

is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing,

Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.

Faith, Hope, Love endure??hese three; but the greatest of these is Love.

Hotly pursue this love, yet seek earnestly spiritual gifts, and chiefly that you may prophesy.

Let all that you do be done in love.

If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
