LOVE.

By G. W. Amadon

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all secrets, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and give up my body to be burned, and have not love, I am not profited at all.” 1 Cor. xiii, 1–3. [Whiting’s Translation.]
  1. “Love forbeareth long and is kind.”
  2. “Love envieth not.”
  3. “Love boasteth not.”
  4. “Is not puffed up.”
  5. “Acteth not indecently.”
  6. “Seeketh not its own.”
  7. “Is not passionate.”
  8. “Doth not surmise evil.”
  9. “Rejoiceth not in deception, but rejoiceth in the truth.”
  10. “Beareth all things.”
  11. “Believeth all things.”
  12. “Hopeth all things.”
  13. “Endureth all things.”
  14. “Love never faileth.”
  15. “And now remaineth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of them is love. Earnestly follow love.”
“When shall love freely flow Pure as life’s river? When shall sweet friendship glow, Changeless for ever? Where joys celestial thrill, Where bliss each heart shall fill, And fears of parting chill Never! no, never!”
“Let us love not in word, neither in tongue; but in deed, and in truth.” G. W. AMADON.
