Bible Verses

I did a bible study lesson one day on 1 Corinthians 13, it is the chapter in the bible on love. Other than people not being quiet most of the time so I could do my lesson I think it even went pretty well.

A while later on a Sunday our pastor did a sermon on 1 Corinthians 13. I really enjoyed it and payed more attention on that Sunday then most. I didn't think anything of it until we went to a different bible study for a night and they went and talked about 1 Corinthians 13. This was when I thought that God must be telling me that this is my life verse...or chapter in the bible.

I read this chapter a lot and I believe it. Here is what the chapter says....

1 Corinthians 13

Love
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 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 have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

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. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 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 childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor 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.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
