1 Corinthians 13

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge,
13 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Three things will last forever—
faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these....is love.
the object of deep affection, something one idolizes, romantic attachment
The choice to expend energy in an effort to benefit another person
Gary Chapman
A feeling of deep affection. A central theme in Scripture and Christian theology and ethics. Defines our relationship with God and dictates how we should treat others.
To be so moved with compassion for someone that you are compelled to act on their behalf, often at great sacrifice to yourself.
I connect to nothing
I am nothing
I gain nothing
I connect to nothing -
the gong etc was a part of the pagan temple worship rituals...so in essence I look like I am making some kind of angelic connection, but in reality I am talking to a false god or to demons....
And without love I am a nobody, a no one....which is just the opposite of what a person operating outside of love is hoping to achieve, the appearance of accomplishment or importance....
Without love - I gain nothing, I have nothing to show for it, or reach any profit or advantage
Even though I apparently can connect with heavenly beings and speak their language
Even though I have access to "insider information" which only important people have by the way....
Even though I work hard at building an image of philanthropy
Appear as a giving person to the point of appearing to do so at great personal cost

Sounding brass (χαγκὸς ἠχῶν). The metal is not properly brass, the alloy of copper and zinc, but copper, or bronze, the alloy of copper and tin, of which the Homeric weapons were made. Being the metal in common use, it came to be employed as a term for metal in general. Afterward it was distinguished; common copper being called black or red copper, and the celebrated Corinthian bronze being known as mixed copper. The word here does not mean a brazen instrument, but a piece of unwrought metal, which emitted a sound on being struck. In the streets of Seville one may see pedlers striking together two pieces of brass instead of blowing a horn or ringing a bell.
Tinkling cymbal (κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον). The verb rendered tinkling, alalazo, originally meant to repeat the cry alala, as in battle. It is used by Mark (6:38) of the wailings of hired mourners. Hence, generally, to ring or clang. Rev., clanging. Κύμβαλον cymbal, is derived from κύμβος a hollow or a cup. The cymbal consisted of two half-globes of metal, which were struck together. In middle-age Latin, cymbalum was the term for a church- or convent-bell. Ducange defines: “a bell by which the monks are called to meals, and which is hung in the cloister.” The comparison is between the unmeaning clash of metal, and music; between ecstatic utterances which are jargon, and utterances inspired by love, which, though unintelligible to the hearers, may carry a meaning to the speaker himself and to God, 1 Cor. 14:4, 7.
