1st Corinthians — 13
Ahaba (Love) Is the Greatest
1 If I could speak all the languages of the Arath and of the Malakym, but did not love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of the secret plans of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such Amunah that I could move mountains, but did not love others, I would be nothing.
3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I did not love others, I would have gained nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
5 Love is not rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
6 Love does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
7 Love never gives up, never loses Amunah, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!
9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!
10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever, Amunah (Faith), Hope, and Ahaba (love) and the greatest of these is Ahaba (love).
