Re: Feynman quote and my clarification (was Re: OffTopic, Long - NewTestament Provenance)

I forgot to include the quote from 1 Cor. 13. Here it is if you want to
read it. Otherwise, just delete...

This is the NIV version, and I cut and pasted from Biblegateway.com. I
include the footnotes which offer notes regarding the translation.

1 Corinthians 13


Love

 1If I speak in the tongues[1] of men and of angels, but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  2If 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.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the
flames,[2] but have not love, I gain nothing.
 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not
easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  6Love does not delight
in evil but rejoices with the truth.  7It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is
knowledge, it will pass away.  9For we know in part and we prophesy in
part,  10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.  11When I
was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned
like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see
face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am
fully known.
 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest
of these is love.
