1 Corinthians 13:1-6

GNT

NIV

1 I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell.
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains - but if I have no love, I am nothing.
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 do not have love, I am nothing.
3 I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned - but if I have no love, this does me no good.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud;
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs;
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
