Egyik leveléből:

“I may be able to speak the language of men and even of angels but if I have no love my speach is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching. I may have all the knowledge and understand all secrets, I may have all the faith needed to move mountains – but if I have no love I am nothing. I may give away everything I have and even give up my body to be burned – but if I have no love this does me no good. Love is patient, love is kind. It is no jealous or conceited or proud, love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable, love does not keep a record of wrongs, love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up and its faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal.”
