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.

Leader: 7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.
All: Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Leader: 9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
All: 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
Leader: 11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
All: 12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
Leader: 13 And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.
All: 14 We have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. 16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.

Leader: 3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
All: It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great hope, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—
Leader: An inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
All: 6 So we are truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though we must endure many trials for a little while.
Leader: 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold.
All: 8 We love him even though we have never seen him. Though we do not see him now, we trust him; and we rejoice with a glorious, abundant joy!

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
