If I have not love, my speech is no more
than a resounding gong.
I may have faith to move mountains,
but if I have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames,
but have not love,
I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered.
Love keeps no record of wrongs.
It does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts.
Love always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love is eternal.
Lord, bless me with a love like this.
