rst, secondly prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
governings, diversities of tongues. (29)Are all apostles? Are all
prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? (30)Have all
gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
(31)But desire earnestly the greater gifts; and moreover, I show to
you a more excellent way.

(1)Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not
love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (2)And
though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and
all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
and have not love, I am nothing. (3)And though I bestow all my goods
in food, and though I give up my body that I may be burned, and have
not love, it profits me nothing.

(4)Love suffers long, is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not
itself, is not puffed up, (5)does not behave itself unseemly, seeks
not its own, is not easily provoked, imputes no evil; (6)rejoices not
at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; (7)bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (8)Love
never fails; but whether there are prophesyings, they will be done
away; whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be
done away. (9)For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. (10)But
when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part will be
done away.

(11)When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I
reasoned as a child; but now that I am become a man, I have done away
the things of the child. (12)For we see now in a mirror, obscurely;
but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know
fully, even as I also am fully known.

(13)And now remain faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of
these is love.

(1)Pursue after love; and desire earnestly the spiritual gifts, but
rather that ye may prophesy. (2)For he that speaks in an unknown
tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but with
the spirit he speaks mysteries. (3)But he that prophesies, to men he
speaks edification, and exhortation, and comfort. (4)He that speaks in
an unknown tongue edifies himself; but he that prophesies edifies the
church.

(5)I would that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye
should prophesy; for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks
with tongues, except he inter
