“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, 

and have not charity, 

I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 

And though I have the gift of prophecy, 

and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; 

and though I have all faith, 

so that I could remove mountains, 

and have not charity, I am nothing. 

And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, 

and though I give my body to be burned, 

and have not charity, it profits me nothing.” 

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

"And by this we know that we have come to know him, 

if we keep his commandments. 

Whoever says “I know him” 

but does not keep his commandments is a liar, 

and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps His word, 

in him truly the love of God is perfected. 

By this we may know that we are in him: 

whoever says he abides in him 

ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.”

1 John 2:3-6
