1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth

It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.

Love never falls in ruins;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.

For we know in part and we prophecy in part.

But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.

When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;

when I became [an adult],
I abolished the things of the infant.

For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.

But now remains
faith, hope, love,

these three;

but the greatest of these is love.

I believe the scriptures you are thinking of is in the book of 1st Corinthians Chapter 13:4-13

Love is patient, is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, is not puffed up,
does not behave indecently, does not seek its own, is not provoked, reckons not the evil,
does not rejoice over the unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,
it covers all, believes all, expects all, endures all.
Love never fails. And whether there be prophecies, they shall be inactive; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be inactive.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be inactive.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child. But when I became a man, I did away with childish matters.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, as I also have been known.
And now belief, expectation, and love remain ? these three. But the greatest of these is love.

That is taken from "The Scriptures '98" a Messianic Judaism Bible.
