—————————-
“If I speak
in the tongues 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, but have not
love, I gain nothing.” 1Cor 13:1-3
