“The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.”

— Paul the Apostle, 1 Corinthians 13:13, New International Reader's Version

About Paul the Apostle

Early Christian apostle and missionary, traditional author of many New Testament epistles.

“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

“The law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.”

“Love in dreams is greedy for immediate action, rapidly performed and in the sight of all.”

“Yet I argue not against Heaven's hand or will, nor bate one jot of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer right onward.”

“Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.”

“I don't know about hope, but I do know about love.”

“Let the man who does not wish to be idle fall in love!”

“Everyone wishes to be loved, but, in the event, nearly no one can bear it.”
