The kind of selfless love that Christ had is patient and kind. It never envies. It never puffs up. It never thinks of its own importance or serves only itself. — 1 Corinthians 13:4, Blanco's Clear Water paraphrase.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, because I understood and thought as a child. But when I grew up and thought as a mature adult should, I stopped talking about things as a child would. My childish thinking was no longer adequate for my adult life. — 1 Corinthians 13:11, Blanco.
The only things that are important in life, and that really count are faith in God, hope for the future, and having the kind of love for others that Christ had. These are the only qualities that really matter, and the greatest of these is having the love that Christ had. — 1 Corinthians 13:13, Blanco.
