The second of the Epistles, and the seventh book in the New Testament, is Paul's first letter to the Church in Corinth; I Corinthians. It was written when Paul was in the city of Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey, after he has heard about divisions in the Corinthian Church which he founded three years previously. There are reports of immoral behaviour and lawsuits between members, which Paul wishes to address. There are also questions concerning correct behaviour which Paul answers in his letter.
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
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"
Some other translations substitute the word "charity" for "love"
