1 Corinthians 13:1–3: Arriving at a Better Understanding

1 Corinthians 13:1–3 reads as follows:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal (verse 1).

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 have not love, I am nothing (verse 2).
