I CORINTHIANS 13.
-----
Thought I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clang cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;love does not parade itself, is not puffed up.
Does not behave rudely, does not seek it's own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
If you did not understand, He's saying that no matter what you have or do or become, or anything, if you don't have or know what love is, none of it will matter. You can do the kindest stuff but you have no love, it wont count.
also how hes trying to give an example about how when children are little they know not so much and they understand only what their brains can comprehend. But as we get older, we realize more, and grow more.
I really liked this chapter. =]
I thought I'd share it with you guys.
