......Faith, Hope and Love ...the greatest of these is Love (1Co 13:1-13)

                                                                            LOVE

1Corinthians13:1-13   If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

 ² 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 do not have love, I am nothing

 ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
⁸ 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 pass away.
 ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  
¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
 ¹¹ 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 the ways of childhood behind me.
 ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The Word of the Lord

         Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will
         stand forever.
        1Peter 1:24-25 for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass.  The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever." And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
        Acts 13:49 And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.
