does not behave rudely, (A)does not seek its own, is not provoked, [a]thinks no evil; (B)does not rejoice in iniquity, but (C)rejoices in the truth; (D)bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. (E)For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [b]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For (F)now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then (G)face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
