Love

My all time favorite... This is the blueprint and a tru foundation to build
up from with your family, friends, and lovers!

Love

1 If I speak
in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding
gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can
fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move
mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3 If I give all I possess to
the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.


4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud.

5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6 Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.

7 It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are
prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9 For we know in part and
we prophesy in part,

10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect
disappears.

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like
a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways
behind me.

12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we
shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I
am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But
the greatest of these is love.


~First Corinthians 13.
