I may speak in tongues of men or of angels,
But if I am without love,
I am a sounding gong or clanging cymbal.
I may have the gift of prophecy,
and know every hidden truth:
I may have faith strong enough to move mountains;
but if I have no love, I am nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offence.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance.
Love will never come to an end.

Saint Paul, 1st Corinthians, 13:1
