it is not jealous or conceited or proud;
love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable;
love does not keep a record of wrongs;
love is not happy with evil,
but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up;
and its faith, hope and patience never fail.
Love is eternal.
There are inspired messages,
but they are temporary;
there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues,
but they will cease;
there is knowledge,
but it will pass.
For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages are only partial;
but when what is perfect comes,
then what is partial will disappear.
Meanwhile these three remain:
faith, hope and love;
and the greatest of these is love.'
Corinthians 13
