1 Corinthians 13:6 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 13.

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.

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

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

10 but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
