THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF ANGELS,
IF I HAVE NOT LOVE
I AM BECOME AS HOLLOW BRASS.

THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY
AND UNDERSTAND ALL KNOWLEDGE AND ALL MYSTERIES,
AND THOUGH I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO MOVE THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS,
IF I HAVE NOT LOVE,
I AM NOTHING.

LOVE IS PATIENT. LOVE IS KIND.
IT BEARS ALL THINGS. IT HOPES ALL THINGS.
LOVE NEVER FAILS.

FOR PROPHECIES SHALL FAIL,
TONGUES SHALL CEASE,
KNOWLEDGE SHALL WITHER AWAY.

AND NOW SHALL ABIDE FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE.

BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE THREE IS LOVE.
- St Paul, I Corinthians 13:1
