Love

1 Corinthians 13:1  If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 
1 Corinthians 13:2  If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. 
1 Corinthians 13:3  If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. 
1 Corinthians 13:4  Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, 
1 Corinthians 13:5  Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, 
1 Corinthians 13:6  Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, 
1 Corinthians 13:7  Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.  (The Message)
