IN LOVING MEMORY OF RAYMOND and NANETTA ALLISON
MemorialsMemorials
And I said, Oh that I had wings
like a dove! for then would I fly
away, and be at rest. Psalm 55:6
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels
but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a
clanging 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, but 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,
but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does
not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not
provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in
iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all
things. Love never fails. But whether there are
prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues,
they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will
vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in
part. But when that which is perfect has come, then
that which is in part will be done away. When I was a
child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put
away childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly
but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I
shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
