Love Is Patient Poem
1 Corinthians 13
13:1
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have
not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
13:2
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries
and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
13:3
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to
the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
13:4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud.
13:5
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
13:6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
13:7
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
13:8
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will
cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where
there is knowledge, it will pass away.
13:9
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
13:10
but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
13:11
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a
child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish
ways behind me.
13:12
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall
see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known.
13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest
of these is love.
