(Hosea 2;19)

If I accept all the ability of men (and women) or of angels, but allege afterwards love, I am artlessly a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.

If I accept the allowance of prophecy, compassionate all mysteries and alive everything, and if I accept all acceptance so as to move mountains, but am afterwards love, I accretion nothing.

If I accord abroad all I possess, and if I bear my physique to be burned, but am afterwards love, I accretion nothing. (Because of its clear content, this ballad is generally afar for alliance ceremonies.)

Love is consistently accommodating and kind; it is never anxious nor selfish, it does not yield breach and is not resentful.

Love takes not amusement in added people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is consistently accessible to excuse, to trust, and to abide whatever comes. Adulation does not end.

There are in the end three things that last: Faith, Hope and Love, and the greatest of these is Love.
