Corinthians 13
New
International Version (NIV)
13 If
I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a
resounding 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 a faith
that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If
I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may
boast, but do not have 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 does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is
not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does
not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always
protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love
never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are
tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For
we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when
completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a
child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For
now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And
now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is
love.

This
is my favourite passage from the Bible, regardless of any belonging to
any particular faith category.
Love
is the world's universal energy........ We are all born from this divine source
energy which Einstein described as the 'God like' energy and continues to
baffle scientists today ...
