Charity » The attributes of charity
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.
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, but rejoices when the truth rejoices. read more.
It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring. 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there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded. For our knowing is imperfect, and our prophesying is imperfect; but when the perfect is come, then the perfect will be done away. When I was a child I spoke like a child, felt like a child, thought like a child; now that I am become a man, I have done with childish things. For now we see as in a mirror, and are baffled, but then face to face; now I know in fragments, but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood. Faith, Hope, Love endure??hese three; but the greatest of these is Love.

But the end of all things is close at hand; so be sober, watch and pray. Above everything have fervent love to one another; for love veils a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another, without grudging.
