First Corinthians Thirteen

[1] If I speak in the tongues (a language naturally unacquired – 1100) of men and of angels, but have not love (in a social or moral sense – 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest), I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith (conviction of a religious truth or the truthfulness of God – 4102), so as to remove mountains, but have not (love in a social or moral sense - 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest), I am nothing. [3] If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not (love in a social or moral sense - 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest), I gain nothing.

[4] (Love in a social or moral sense - 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest) is patient (with long enduring temper – 3116) and kind; (love in a social or moral sense - 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest) 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; [6] it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. [7] … bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

[8] (Love in a social or moral sense - 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest) never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. [9] For we know in part and we prophesy in part, [10] but when the perfect (complete - 5046) comes, the partial will pass away. [11] When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. [12] For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

[13] So now faith (conviction of a religious truth or the truthfulness of God – 4102), hope, and (love in a social or moral sense - 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest) abide, these three; but the greatest of these is (love in a social or moral sense - 25, Christian love; the highest level of concern and interest).
