1 Corinthians 13 — Context

4

Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

5

doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

6

doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

7

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

9

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

10

but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
