1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.
And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.
Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.
It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth
It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.
Love never falls in ruins;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.
For we know in part and we prophecy in part.
But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.
When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;
when I became [an adult],
I abolished the things of the infant.
For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.
But now remains
faith, hope, love,
these three;
but the greatest of these is love.

I am a muslim, never read bible but I like two verses most (not exact wordings though):
You will become what/however you think
Whatever is said in darkness will be echoed in bright daylight

It took a few seconds for Retrodragonfly's answer to sink in... :) That was really funny!
I once heard a bible reading about love, about how it was impossible to destroy. I don't know what it was, but it was really nice... don't suppose anyone knows?

'Jesus wept.' That verse for some reason always gets me cracking up, probably because my friends and I have a pretty strange story behind it :) Good memories :)

Ezekiel 23:20
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
paramours are lovers
flesh is genitals
issue is ejaculation
for those of you who cannot understand the KJV of our LORD's word.
