deeper interaction with someone
• developed by conversing things in common

because you laugh at my jokes, I love you
because we like so many of the same things, I
love because you love me. I love you because
we have fun together.

become sounding brass or a clanging
cymbal.
• 2 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
3

feed the poor, and though I give my body

to be burned, but have not love, it profits

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. (NKJV)
