but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned,
but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own,
is not provoked, thinks no evil;
 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
 bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails."
(1 Corinthians 13:1 - 8a NKJV)
