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.

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

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
