(4)Love suffers long, is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, (5)does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not its own, is not easily provoked, imputes no evil; (6)rejoices not at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; (7)bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (8)Love never fails; but whether there are prophesyings, they will be done away; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be done away. (9)For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. (10)But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part will be done away. (11)When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child; but now that I am become a man, I have done away the things of the child. (12)For we see now in a mirror, obscurely; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know fully, even as I also am fully known. (13)And now remain faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. (1)Pursue after love; and desire earnestly the spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. (2)For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but with the spirit he speaks mysteries. (3)But he that prophesies, to men he speaks edification, and exhortation, and comfort. (4)He that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the church. (5)I would that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy; for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edification. (6)And now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching? (7)And things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, yet if they give no distinction in the sounds, how shall that be known which is piped or harped? (8)For if a trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for battle? (9)So also ye, if ye utter not by the tongue words easily understood, how shall that be known which is spoken? For ye will be speaking into the air. (10)So many, it may be, are the kinds of speaking sounds in the world, and none is without significance. (11)If then I know not the meaning of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian to me. (12)So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound in them to the edification of the church.
