Amoris Laetitia

Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous or boastful;
Love is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way;
Love is not irritable or resentful;
Love does not rejoice at wrong,
Love rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
Love believes all things,
Love hopes all things,
Love endures all things.
Love never ends;

As for prophecies, they will pass away;
As for tongues, they will cease;
As for knowledge, it will pass away.

For our knowledge is imperfect
And our prophecy is imperfect;
But when the perfect comes,
The imperfect will pass away.

When I was a child,
I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child;
When I became a man,
I gave up childish ways.

For now we see in a mirror dimly,
But then face to face.
Now I know in part;
Then I shall understand fully,
Even as I have been fully understood.

So faith, hope, love abide,
These three!
The greatest of these is love.
