‘If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; 10 but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13 [NRSV] aka the Love Chapter
— love, the february queen who has bad carpal tunnel and hasn’t read everyone’s posts for like two days and hasn’t replied to anyone for like three sorry not sorry 😭
I memorized this in the King James when I was 12, and still remember it. I loved the King James English, how it forced me to speak clearly (because I recited it at church) and charity=love in that version. But also how much more poetic the words are:
V1-Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not charity, I am like a clanging brass or a tinkling cymbal…
V12-For now we see in a glass, darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then shall know even as also I am known.
V13-And now abideth these three: faith, hope, and charity, but the greatest of these is charity.

Love never ends. I love that part. Another version I read has it as, “Love never falls away” and I love that, too. Thanks for this.
