Brethren, you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And
God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets,
third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers,
administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all
prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts
of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But
earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more
excellent way. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have
not 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 have not love, I am
nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be
burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind;
love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love
does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it
does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in the right. Love bears all
things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love
never ends.
