Love Verse 17 - The GREATEST of these

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 13


A bright spot of red in my tree!  So beautiful!

Love Verse 13 - Harmony

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another, be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.  Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because of this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
