The Way of Love
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 [ch. 14:1,39;Matt. 7:22]; See Acts 2:18prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, Matt. 17:20;Mark 11:23;[Luke 17:6]so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 [Matt. 6:2] If I give away all I have, and Dan. 3:28if I deliver up my body to be burned,13:3 Some manuscripts deliver up my body [to death] that I may boast but have not love, I gain nothing.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
