"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."
(1 Corinthians 13:2 RSV)
Here is the entire passage in context . . .
The Supreme Importance Of Love
_____________________________________________________________
1 CORINTHIANS 13 (RSV)
1
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have
not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2
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.
3
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be
burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
5
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its
own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
7
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things.
8
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will
pass away.
9
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is
imperfect;
10
but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
11
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a
child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I
gave up childish ways.
12
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as
I have been fully understood.
13
So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest
of these is love.
_____________________________________________________________
Why is love so important, more important than anything else? Because God
Himself is love.
1 JOHN 4:7-8 (RSV)
_____________________________________________________________
7
Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and
he who loves is born of God and knows God.
8
He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.
