Set your mind on the higher gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:31

If I speak without love,I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.  1 Corinthians 13:1

 Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous;love is not boastful or conceited, it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offense nor store up grievances.

Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth.

It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.1 Corinthians 4-7

When I was a child, I used to talk as a child and see things as a child does, and think like a child; but now that I have become and adult I have finished with childish ways. Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face.     1 Corinthians 13:11-12
