1 Corinthians 13:6-13

New International Version

⁶ Love does not delight in evil^(A) but rejoices with the truth.^{(B) 7} It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.^(C)

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,^(D) they will cease; where there are tongues,^(E) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part^(F) and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes,^(G) what is in part 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 the ways of childhood^(H) behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;^(I) then we shall see face to face.^(J) Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.^(K)

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.^(L) But the greatest of these is love.^(M)
