EasyEnglish Bible
1 Corinthians 13:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 I may give all my things to help poor people. I may let other people take my body to burn it.[a] But that would not help me if I do not love others.
4 If I love people, I will be patient. I will be kind. I will not be jealous of other people. I will not be proud and say that I am great. 5 If I love people, I will be polite. I will not just want to please myself. I will not quickly become angry. If someone does a wrong thing against me, I will not keep it in my thoughts.
