In church today, Jan. 28 there was a reading about love. It was a letter to the people and i remember it saying love is not jealous, quick tempered, rude and such. It also mentioned if you give your body away without love your giving nothing. does anyone know the whole thing? thanks a lot!

It's 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13
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. 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. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13: 1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become a sounding [piece of ] brass or a clashing cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophesying and am acquainted with all the sacred secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all the faith so as to transplant mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my belongings to feed others, and if I hand over my body, tha I may boast, but do not have love, I am not profited at all. 4 Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag does not get puffed up, [with pride] 5 does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.

Corinthians 1-8

You really should read all of 1 Corinthians up to and including chapter 13 to understand what Paul is writing about. At least read chapter 12 first.
The Corinthians were so obsessed with speaking in tongues and various charismatic gifts, that Paul had to remind them of the variety of gifts given to each person - most importantly love. Some in Corinth thought - like many Pentecostals today - that if you didn't speak in tongues, you didn't have the Holy Spirit in you. Paul corrects them by noting that each person has different gifts from the Holy Spirit and that you should seek these gifts. The most important gifts to seek are faith, hope and love; but especially love.
The word translated as 'love' from the Greek is 'agape', meaning charitable love (self-giving love); not 'eros' (romantic love).
In 'giving your body away' Paul didn't mean in sexual intercourse. He was making the point that even if you give yourself up to persecution, penance or even martyrdom, and you do not have love, it is for nothing.

1 Corinthians 13 the Love Chapter

This is not the correct sayings at all. I thought is was too until I found out the origins of the bible and chose the correct bible.
Man have replaced the word Love with Charity which have to different meanings. Also there is no where in the bible that say we should go to church on sunday the first day of the week. God sat aside the sabbath day for all people and said the it is a sign between Him and his people. Roman emperor Constantine replaced the Lords Sabbath with the first day of the week. This is why the world is doomed. Man has changed the entire word of God. The correct verses are below. The church is supposed to teach the fear of God. No where in the bible does it say to love God. It says to Fear him and love your brother. Check it out for your self. Don't take my word for it.
1Cr 13:4 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up
1Cr 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Cr 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
1Cr 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1Cr 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.
