"Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy, it
does not boast, it
is not proud. It is
not rude, 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.
But where there
are prophecies,
they will cease;
where there are
tongues, they will
be stilled; where
there is
knowledge, it will
pass away. For we
know in part and
we prophesy in
part, but when
perfection comes,
the imperfect
disappears. 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
put childish ways
behind me. Now
we see but a poor
reflection as in a
mirror; then we
shall see face to
face.
