Everything you do should be done in love.

Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.

Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside.

With regard to food sacrificed to idols, we know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
