But just as it is written, "Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him."

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

With regard to food sacrificed to idols, we know that "we all have knowledge." Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.

Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

Everything you do should be done in love.

Let anyone who has no love for the Lord be accursed. Our Lord, come!

My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
