[Well, I suppose a dose of 1 Corinthians 13 won't hurt:]

1   Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not 
charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling 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, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3   And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my 
body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4   Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity 
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5   Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily 
provoked, thinketh no evil;
6   Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;...
13   And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of 
these is charity.
