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.
I Corinthians 13:1-3

If I speak the liberation theology and have solidarity with the poor,
but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I recycle and love the Earth and can understand the stacking functions of permaculture,
and have a faith in the virtues of intentional community,
but have not love, I am nothing.
If I quit my job as a high school teacher
and give all I possess to the poor to travel America in an RV,
but have not love, I gain nothing.
