1 Corinthians 13:1–7

Scripture Reading
Without Love, I'm Nothing
1 Corinthians > 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 > New Testament
English

Leader: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 

ALL: 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 

Leader: 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 

ALL: 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 

Leader: 6 Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 

ALL: 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
