First letter to the Corinthians 13:1

If I speak in the tongues of men and [yes, even] of angels,
but do not have love [which is unselfish and giving],
I have become like a clanging gong or a clanging cymbal.
[My loveless speech sounds just as deafening to the ears of God and men. Corinth was known for its bronze craftsmanship. In workshops along the streets, craftsmen hammered metal as they shaped vessels and handicrafts. Paul had lived in Corinth for 18 months, see Acts 18:11, and was well acquainted with this noisy clamor.]
