Love - 1Corinthians 13:4-13

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud.

Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others.
Love does not count up wrongs that have been done.

Love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth.

Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always remains strong.

Love never ends. There are gifts of prophecy, but they will be ended.
There are gifts of speaking in different languages, but those gifts will stop.
There is the gift of knowledge, but it will come to an end.

The reason is that our knowledge and our ability to prophesy are not perfect.

But when perfection comes, the things that are not perfect will end.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man I stopped those childish ways.

It is the same with us. Now we see a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, but then we shall see clearly.
Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as God has known me.

So these three things continue forever: faith, hope, and love.
And the greatest of these is Love.


Happy Valentines!
