If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Strong's King James
(3) And if I give all my possessions and perhaps hand my body over to be burned but don't have love, it profits nothing!
The F.O.G
[3] If I gave away everything I owned to feed the hungry, and even if I sacrificed my own body in flames for a cause—but didn't have love as my motivation—I would gain nothing of eternal value.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.
Young's Literal Translation
