1 Corinthians 13:2-8
New Catholic Bible
2 If I have the gift of prophecy
and the ability to understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and have all the faith necessary to move mountains,
but do not have love,
I am nothing.
3 If I give away everything to feed the poor
and hand over my body to be burned,
but do not have love,
I achieve nothing.
4 Love is patient;
love is charitable.
Love is not envious;
it does not have an inflated opinion of itself;
it is not filled with its own importance.
5 Love is never rude;
it does not seek its own advantage.
It is not prone to anger;
neither does it brood over setbacks.
6 Love does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices in the truth.
7 Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
8 Love never fails.
Prophecies will eventually cease,
tongues will become silent,
and knowledge will pass away,

1 Corinthians 13:2-8
New International Version
2 If I have the gift of prophecy(A) and can fathom all mysteries(B) and all knowledge,(C) and if I have a faith(D) that can move mountains,(E) but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor(F) and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[a](G) but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient,(H) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.(I) 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,(J) it is not easily angered,(K) it keeps no record of wrongs.(L) 6 Love does not delight in evil(M) but rejoices with the truth.(N) 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.(O)
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,(P) they will cease; where there are tongues,(Q) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
