1 Corinthians 13 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Excellence of Love

1Co 13:1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

1Co 13:2

1Co 13:2If 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 do not have love, I am nothing.

1Co 13:3

1Co 13:3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body [fn]to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

1Co 13:4

1Co 13:4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

1Co 13:5

1Co 13:5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,

1Co 13:6

1Co 13:6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

1Co 13:7

1Co 13:7 [fn]bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1Co 13:8

1Co 13:8Love never fails; but if there are gifts of [fn]prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

1Co 13:9

1Co 13:9For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

1Co 13:10

1Co 13:10but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

1Co 13:11

1Co 13:11When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I [fn]became a man, I did away with childish things.

1Co 13:12

1Co 13:12For now we see in a mirror [fn]dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

1Co 13:13

1Co 13:13But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the [fn]greatest of these is love.
