i love this quote and i have a copy i got in school, but i was wondering where in the bible it is.
If I speak in human and angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatet of these is love.
