But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."

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

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

But now faith, hope, and love remain -- these three. The greatest of these is love.

Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Let all that you do be done in love.

If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!

My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
