"1Co 12:31  But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
1Co 13:1  If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co 13:2  And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3  And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1Co 13:4  Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5  Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil:
1Co 13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth:
1Co 13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1Co 13:8  Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void or tongues shall cease or knowledge shall be destroyed.
1Co 13:9  For we know in part: and we prophesy in part.
1Co 13:10  But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.
1Co 13:11  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child.
1Co 13:12  We see now through a glass in a dark manner: but then face to face. Now I know in part: but then I shall know even as I am known.
1Co 13:13  And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity."
1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13

"Psa 33:2  Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
Psa 33:3  Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
Psa 33:4  For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
Psa 33:5  He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
Psa 33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
Psa 33:22  Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee."
Psalm 33:2-5,12,22

"Luk 7:31  And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?
Luk 7:32  They are like to children sitting in the marketplace and speaking one to another and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.
Luk 7:33  For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine. And you say: He hath a devil.
Luk 7:34  The Son of man is come eating and drinking. And you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.
Luk 7:35  And wisdom is justified by all her children."
Luke 7:31-35
