Charity » The attributes of charity
Now concerning the things offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth;
Verse Concepts
Love suffereth long, is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not herself, is not puffed up, doth not behave herself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, maketh no account of an injury, rejoiceth not at iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, read more.
beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth; but whether there are prophesyings, they will come to an end; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I had the feelings of a child, I thought as a child; since I have become a man, I have put away the things of the child. For now we see in a mirror, obscurely; but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall fully know even as I also am fully known. And now there abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without grudging.
