Love ( 1 Corinthians 13 v 1 - 8 )

If I speak in the tongues of men or angels, but do not have love. I am only a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If  I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I  have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If  I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I  may boast, but do not have love,I gain nothing. Love is patient,love is kind,it does not envy, it does not boast,it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking ,it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always  perseveres. Love never fails.
