1 Corinthians 13 - Rearranged as a concrete poem

The following poem is adapted from the New King James version of the New Testament in the Holy Bible.


                               Love suffers                   long and is
                                       kind; love does not       envy; love does not
                                   parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave
                             rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks
                             no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the
                        truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
                       endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are
                            prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues,
                              they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will
                                 vanish away. For now we see in a mirror, dimly,
                                         but then face 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.
