"Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.<br/> And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and thought I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains and have not love, I am nothing.<br/> And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.<br/> Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil: rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endueth all things. <br/> Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.<br/> For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.<br/> But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.<br/> When I was a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.<br/> For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.<br/> Now abideth faith, hope and love. These three; but the greatest of these is love.(I Corinthians 13)" – Bible
