1 Corinto 13; 1-13
1 I may speak the languages of men and even of angels, but without love, I am like a noisy baboon and a faint clinging.
2 Though I have the virtue of preaching, and have all knowledge and fathom all secrets; though I have faith that can move mountains_but without love, I am nothing.
3 Even if I give everything I have and set my body on fire, but without love, it is nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast;
5 Love is not rude or selfish or reckless; love is never forgotten;
6 Love does not delight in evil, but in the truth.
7 Love is patient, faithful, hopeful and always endures.
8 Inspired messages pass away; speaking virtues fade away; knowledge fades, but love never ends.
9 For our wisdom and inspired messages are incomplete;
10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will disappear.
11 When I was young, my speech, feelings and thoughts were young; but now that I'm adult, I'm no longer young.
12 What we see now is like a reflection in a mirror; but then everything becomes clear. What I know now is fleeting, but it will be perfect later, as perfect as God's knowledge about me.
13 And now these three remain; faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is Faith.
