Love is never tired of waiting- patient;

Love is kind – never jealous; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride, never rude;

Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself;
it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do.
It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting.
Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.
Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.

Love never fails!

Everyone who prophesies will stop, and unknown languages will no longer be spoken. All that we know will be forgotten.

For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:
We don't know everything, and our prophecies are not complete.
But when that which is complete is come, then that which is
in part will be no longer necessary.

But what is perfect will someday appear,
and what isn't perfect will then disappear.

When I was a child, I made use of a child's language,
I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

When we were children, we thought and reasoned as children do. But when we grew up, we quit our childish ways.

For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.

Now all we can see of God is like a cloudy picture in a mirror. Later we will see him face to face.
We don't know everything, but then we will, just as God completely understands us.

But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is LoVe ....
