I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love,
and I became to them as one who
eases the yoke on their jaws,
and I bent down to them and fed them.
Hosea 11:4 ESV
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not LOVE,
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 LOVE, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned,
and have not LOVE, it profiteth me nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
