Psalm 71
In you, O Lord, do I seek refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness, deliver me and set me free;
incline your ear to me and save me.
Be for me a stronghold to which I may ever resort;
send out to save me, for you are my rock and my
fortress.
Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the evildoer and the oppressor.
For you are my hope, O Lord God,
my confidence, even from my youth.
Upon you have I leaned from my birth,
when you drew me from my mother’s womb;
my praise shall be always of you.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but
do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging
cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand
all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so
as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am
nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand
over my body so that I may boast,* but do not have love,
I gain nothing.
--."
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or
boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its
own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not
rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will
come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as
for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know
only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when
the complete comes, the partial will come to an
end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I
thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I
became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For
now we see in a mirror, dimly,* but then we will see
face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will
know fully, even as I have been fully known. And
now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and
the greatest of these is love.
