Read the Bible

¹ Though in every tongue of men and of angels I spoke, and had not love, I should be as brass which soundeth, or a cymbal which giveth voice.² And though there were in me prophecy, and I knew all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though there were in me all faith, as that I could remove the mountain, Mountains.-WALTON'S edit.] and love were not in me, I should be nothing.³ And if all I have I make to feed the poor, and I deliver my body to burn, and love be not in me, I profit nothing.

⁴ LOVE is patient and benign; love envieth not; love is not tumultuous, nor inflated;⁵ it acteth not with unseemliness, nor seeketh its own; it is not angry, nor thoughtful of evil;⁶ it rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.⁷ It endureth every thing, believeth every thing; it hopeth all, endureth all.
