If I speak in the tongues
of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging
symbol. 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.
-1 Corinthians
13:1-3
