If 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 a ponato, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not a ponato, I gain nothing.

A ponato is patient, it is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a ponato, I put childish ways behind me.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and a ponato. But the greatest of these is the ponato.

~ Paul, Corinthians 1:13

(also can we just appreciate how friggin fire that is. Woo Paul! We may have our disagreements but he gets his point across.)
