love is all

multnomah falls

"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, 

I am a sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, 

and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, 

so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 

If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast,

but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not jealous or boastful or arrogant, 

nor does it act unbecomingly. It does not insist on its own way, it is not provoked, 

does not take into account a wrong suffered, it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, 

but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, 

endures all things. Love never ends.... 

And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and 

the greatest of these is love."
