1 Corinthians 13:7

Love, The More Excellent Way

⁶ is never glad with sin; she's always glad to side with truth, and pleased that truth will win. ⁷ She bears up under everything; believes the best in all; there is no limit to her hope, and never will she fall. ⁸ Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are languages, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
