Love

If I speak in human and angelic tongues
But do not have love,
I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy
And comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge;
If I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love,
I am nothing.

If I give away everything I own,
And if I hand my body over so that I may boast
But do not have love,
I gain nothing.
