If I speak with the tongues of the earth
If the angels fill my mouth
Yet do not have love, I am but a sound
If I prophesy and understand all things
If mountains shake by my faith
Without love I am nothing at all
Love is patient, love is kind
Love rejoices in the truth
It bears all things, believes all things, it hopes all things, endures all things
Love never fails
If I give away everything I own
Give my body to be burned
Yet do not have love, I gain nothing more
Prophecies will cease
Tongues will be silent
Knowledge will be no more, the partial will pass away
Love is patient, love is kind
Love rejoices in the truth
It bears all things, believes all things, it hopes all things, endures all things
Love never fails
When I was a child
I talked, thought, and lived like a child
But now that I have grown, I have put these things aside
My knowledge is imperfect now
Then I'll know as I am known
That faith, hope and love remain
And the greatest of these is love
Love is patient, love is kind
Love rejoices in the truth
It bears all things, believes all things, it hopes all things, endures all things
Love never fails
