Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
