I CORINTHIANS

I Corinthians 13

1If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

1 Timothy 1:5, 1 Timothy 1:5, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 Peter 4:8, Galatians 5:22

2And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:8, 1 Corinthians 13:3, 1 Corinthians 13:3, 1 John 4:20

3And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.

John 15:13, John 15:13, James 2:14, James 2:17, James 2:14

4Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

1 Peter 4:8, 1 Peter 4:8, Ephesians 4:32, Ephesians 4:32, Galatians 5:21

5Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

1 Corinthians 10:24, 1 Corinthians 10:24, Philippians 2:3, Philippians 2:5, Philippians 2:3

6It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

Romans 12:9, Romans 12:9, 3 John 1:3, 3 John 1:4, 3 John 1:3

7Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

1 Peter 4:8, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 Corinthians 13:4, 1 Corinthians 13:4, 2 Timothy 2:24

8Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.

1 Corinthians 13:13, 1 Corinthians 13:13, 1 Corinthians 13:1, 1 Corinthians 13:2, 1 Corinthians 13:1

9For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:

Colossians 2:2, Colossians 2:3, Colossians 2:2, Colossians 2:3, Ephesians 3:18

10But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.

Isaiah 60:19, Isaiah 60:20, 1 Corinthians 13:12, Isaiah 60:19, Isaiah 60:20

11When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

1 Corinthians 14:20, 1 Corinthians 14:20, 1 Corinthians 3:1, 1 Corinthians 3:2, 1 Corinthians 3:1

12For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.

1 John 3:2, 1 John 3:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 1 Corinthians 13:9

13But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 16:14, 1 Corinthians 16:14, Colossians 3:14, Colossians 3:14, 1 Corinthians 13:1
