1 Corinthians 13:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.
In context
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing 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 absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not 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 is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.
