13 I may speak in different languages of men or even angels. But if I do not have love, then I am only a noisy bell or a ringing cymbal. I may have the gift of prophecy; I may understand all the secret things of God and all knowledge; and I may have faith so great that I can move mountains.

And I may even give my body as an offering to be burned.[a] But I gain nothing by doing these things if I do not have love.
