1 Corinthians 13:2 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 13.

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
