Love One Another Defined:

1 Corinthians 13:1-8 (MSG)

1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 

2 If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 

3 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. 

4 Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, 

5 Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, 

6 Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, 

7 Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. 

8 Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. 

I also like how the chapter ends at the end of verse 13, "Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love."
