The purpose of this poem is to allow the reader to contemplate the substitution and to decide whether it works.

A short “poem” based on the idea of replacing “love” with “profit” in St Paul’s famous passage in 1 Corinthians 13, and often read at weddings. The word “charity” would appear instead of “love” if the old King James Version of the Bible were used instead.

An inference might be drawn that love is better than profit.

The poem encourages a comparison between profit and love.
