Someone I know shared this with me it is his interpretation of 1 Corinthians 13
What if I could speak
all languages
of humans
and of angels?
If I did not love others,
I would be nothing more
than a noisy gong
or a clanging cymbal.
What if I could prophesy
and understand all secrets
and all knowledge?
And what if I had faith
that moved mountains?
I would be nothing,
unless I loved others.
What if I gave away all
that I owned
and let myself
be burned alive?[a]
I would gain nothing,
unless I loved others.
Love is kind and patient,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or rude.
Love isn’t selfish
or quick tempered.
It doesn’t keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
Love rejoices in the truth,
but not in evil.
Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful,
and trusting.
Love never fails!
Everyone who prophesies
will stop,
and unknown languages
will no longer
be spoken.
All that we know
will be forgotten.
We don’t know everything,
and our prophecies
are not complete.
But what is perfect
will someday appear,
and what isn’t perfect
will then disappear.
When we were children,
we thought and reasoned
as children do.
But when we grew up,
we quit our childish ways.
Now all we can see of God
is like a cloudy picture
in a mirror.
Later we will see him
face to face.
We don’t know everything,
but then we will,
just as God completely
understands us.
For now there are faith,
hope, and love.
But of these three,
the greatest is love.
Love is kind and patient,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or rude.
Love isn’t selfish
or quick tempered.
It doesn’t keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
Love is silent,accepting, an non judgmental.
It is not hostile or angered. It doesn’t see our faults as humans who form opinion on us, it doesn’t see the sins and faults one has made it is all accepting
Love rejoices in the truth,
but not in evil.
Love never falters
it is always sharing the facts and truth
Love is never evil
Evil is created by man, the serpent and the law of the worldly not of Christ and God’s teaching or glory’s
Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful,
trusting and faithful
Love never fails!
Nothing is truly perfect
But what is perfect
will someday appear,
and what isn’t perfect
will then disappear.
all we can see of God
is like a cloudy picture
in a mirror.
For God you can not see
Yet he promises that one day
we will see him
face to face.
For now there are faith,
hope, and charity
But of these three,
the greatest is charity.
There is nothing greater than love.
