1 Corinthians 13:1-3
<< 1 Corinthians 12 | 1 Corinthians 13 | 1 Corinthians 14 >>

The Way of Love

13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, [1] but have not love, I gain nothing.

Footnotes

[1] 13:3 Some manuscripts deliver up my body [to death] that I may boast
