1 Corinthians 13:1-3
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Greatest Gift
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of ‘angels’ [mal’ak(-im): messenger(s), prophet(s), etc..], but have not ‘love’ [racham: compassion, mercy, etc..], I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all ‘faith’ [emuwnah: set office, truth, etc..], so that I could remove ‘mountains’ [in Biblical context: pagan worshipp(ing), see more..], but have not ‘love’ [racham: compassion, mercy, etc..], I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not ‘love’ [racham: compassion, mercy, etc..], it profits me nothing.”
Compassion and Mercy, may it be so in us, in YH’shua’s example, Amein.

3 For behold, the ‘Lord’ [YHWH: Name, Word and Works, of Israel’s ‘Elohiym] is coming out of ‘His’ [ha-Ga’al: the-Redeemer’s, the-Deliver(-er’s), etc..] place;

Other Definitions:
“YHWH: “Modern scholars generally agree that YHWH is derived from the Hebrew triconsonantal root היה (h-y-h), “to be, become, come to pass”,[3] an archaic form of which is הוה (h-w-h),[4] with a third person masculine y- prefix, equivalent to English “he”. They connect it to [eg.] Exodus 3:14 – [ETC..] where the divinity [‘Elohiym of Israel] who spoke with Moses responds to a question about his name by declaring: אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (Ehyeh asher ehyeh), “I am that I am” or “I will be what I will be”[5](in Biblical Hebrew the form of the verb here is not associated with any particular English tense).[6][7][8]“
THE NAME THAT EXPRESSES THE WORD AND WORKS OF ISRAEL’S ‘ELOHIYM: THE STEWARD’S WORD AND WORKS;
“I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE”
