But if I don't have love, none of these things will help me. </p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn't jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't arrogant. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>It isn't rude. It doesn't think about itself. It isn't irritable. It doesn't keep track of wrongs. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>It isn't happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Love never comes to an end. There is the gift of speaking what God has revealed, but it will no longer be used. There is the gift of speaking in other languages, but it will stop by itself. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will no longer be used. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Our knowledge is incomplete and our ability to speak what God has revealed is incomplete. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>But when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will no longer be used. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I no longer used childish ways. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Now we see a blurred image in a mirror. Then we will see very clearly. Now my knowledge is incomplete. Then I will have complete knowledge as God has complete knowledge of me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/13-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>So these three things remain: faith, hope, and love.
