If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my goods, and Love is long suffering, It is not discourteous, It covers all things, Love never falls in ruins; For we know in part and we prophecy in part. But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded. When I was an infant, when I became [an adult], For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known. But now remains Faith. Hope. Love. These three; but the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;
I abolished the things of the infant.

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 come to 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;
then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully, even as I am full known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
(modern translation - NIV)
Faith
Faith begins by believing
in your heart that what is right
has a chance.
Faith is knowing in your heart
that good can overcome evil,
that the sun can shine
in a rainstorm.
Faith is peaceful
and comforting, because it
comes from within
where no one can invade
your private dreams.
Faith is not something
you can demand or command;
it is a result of commitment to belief.
Faith is believing in something
you can't see or hear,
something deep inside
that only you understand
and control.
Faith is trusting in yourself
enough to know that no matter
how things turn out,
you will make
the best of them.
- Beth Fagan Quinn
Hope
Hope is not the closing of your eyes
to the difficulty, the risk,
or the failure.
It is a trust that ...
If I fail now...
I shall not fail forever;
and if I am hurt,
I shall be healed.
It is a trust that
life is good,
love is powerful,
and the future is full of promise.
