text: Playoff bracket[edit]

text: In each round, teams compete in a best-of-seven series following a 2–2–1–1–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each best-of-seven series). The team with home ice advantage plays at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team is at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). The top three teams in each division make the playoffs, along with two wild cards in each conference, for a total of eight teams from each conference.

text: In the First Round, the lower seeded wild card in the conference plays against the division winner with the best record while the other wild card plays against the other division winner, and both wild cards are de facto #4 seeds. The other series match the second and third place teams from the divisions. In the first two rounds, home ice advantage is awarded to the team with the better seed; in the last two rounds, it is awarded to the team that had the better regular season record.

text: (A1) Montreal Canadiens vs. (WC1) New York Rangers[edit]

text: The Montreal Canadiens finished first in the Atlantic Division earning 103 points. The New York Rangers finished as the Eastern Conference's first wild-card, earning 102 points. This was the sixteenth playoff meeting between these two teams with New York winning eight of the fifteen previous series. They last met in the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals, which New York won in six games. Montreal won all three games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Rangers eliminated the Canadiens in six games. In the first game of the series, Tanner Glass and Michael Grabner scored the only goals of the games as the Rangers won the game 2–0 on Henrik Lundqvist's 31-save shutout.[8] In Game 2, the Canadiens tied the game with 18 seconds left, then in overtime, Alexander Radulov pushed it past the Rangers' goaltender to give Montreal a 4–3 victory.[9] Radulov continued his scoring into Game 3, getting a goal and an assist to help the Canadiens achieve a 3–1 victory.[10] The Rangers ended a six-game home-losing streak after Game 4 winning 2–1 over the Canadiens to tie the series 2–2.[11] Mika Zibanejad got the overtime-winner for the Rangers in Game 5 after Chris Kreider deflected a pass off of Canadiens defenceman Alexei Emelin, landing towards the forward who put it past goaltender Carey Price in a 3–2 win.[12] Mats Zuccarello scored twice in Game 6 as the Rangers eliminated the Canadiens in a 3–1 victory to advance to the second round.

text: (A2) Ottawa Senators vs. (A3) Boston Bruins[edit]

text: The Ottawa Senators finished second in the Atlantic Division, earning 98 points. The Boston Bruins earned 95 points in the regular season to finish third in the Atlantic. This was the first playoff meeting between the contemporary Ottawa franchise and Boston, and the first Boston-Ottawa series since the 1927 Stanley Cup Finals. Ottawa won all four games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Senators eliminated the Bruins in six games. In Game 1, the Senators gained a 1–0 lead into the third on Bobby Ryan's goal in the second period, however, the Bruins scored twice in the final period with Brad Marchand having the final tally 2:33 before the game ended 2–1 for Boston.[13] In Game 2, Ottawa came back from a two-goal deficit in the third period and won via Dion Phaneuf whose goal in overtime helped tie the series 1–1 after a 4–3 conquest.[14] In Game 3, Ottawa had a three-goal lead with Mike Hoffman scoring twice, but the Bruins came back with three goals in the third period. In overtime, Bruins forward Riley Nash took a roughing penalty and on the ensuing power play, Bobby Ryan tipped in a pass from Kyle Turris ending the game 4–3 for the Senators.[15] Bobby Ryan scored the only goal in Game 4 5:49 into the third period, allowing the Senators to achieve a 3–1 series lead.[16] Boston came back from an early 2–0 deficit in Game 5 and the game would go to overtime. In double-overtime, Bruins rookie Sean Kuraly scored his second goal of the game, completing the comeback in a 3–2 feat.[17] In Game 6, Clarke MacArthur scored the series-winning goal on the power play in overtime for Ottawa to advance to the second round.[18]

text: (M1) Washington Capitals vs. (WC2) Toronto Maple Leafs[edit]

text: The Washington Capitals earned the Presidents' Trophy for the second consecutive year as the NHL's best regular season team this time with 118 points. The Toronto Maple Leafs finished as the Eastern Conference's second wild-card, earning 95 points. This was the first playoff meeting between these two teams. Washington won two of the three games in this year's regular season series.

text: This became only the third playoff series in NHL history in which five games were decided in overtime (the first being the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens and the second occurring in the 2012 Western Conference Quarterfinals between the Phoenix Coyotes and the Chicago Blackhawks).

text: The Capitals defeated the Maple Leafs in six games. Although Toronto had a two-goal lead in the first ten minutes of Game 1, Washington scored two goals, both from Justin Williams, and won the game 3–2 in overtime from Tom Wilson's goal.[19] In Game 2, rookie Kasperi Kapanen scored twice including the game-winner in double-overtime leading the Maple Leafs to a 4–3 victory.[20] Washington took two two-goal leads in Game 3; the first pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, Auston Matthews, helped soften the lead with his first playoff goal, but after the Capitals got a 3–1 lead, the Maple Leafs scored twice to tie the game. Then in overtime, Tyler Bozak sent his shot past the Capitals' goaltender to give the Leafs a 2–1 series lead.[21] Game 4 was the only game of the series not to go into overtime; Tom Wilson and T. J. Oshie both scored two goals and Oshie's second goal proved to be the game-winner in a 5–4 victory after an attempted comeback by Toronto was thwarted.[22] Game 5 featured the fourth overtime game of this series with Justin Williams scoring for Capitals in a 2–1, taking a 3–2 series lead in the process.[23] In Game 6, the game went to overtime for the fifth time this series and at 6:31 of the first overtime period Marcus Johansson scored his second goal for the Capitals in a 2–1 victory and another trip to the second round.[24]

text: (M2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (M3) Columbus Blue Jackets[edit]

text: The Pittsburgh Penguins finished second in the Metropolitan Division earning 111 points. The Columbus Blue Jackets earned 108 points to finish third in the Metropolitan. This was the second playoff meeting between these teams; they last met in the 2014 Eastern Conference First Round, which Pittsburgh won in six games. The teams split this year's four-game regular season series.

text: The Penguins defeated the Blue Jackets in five games. Before Game 1 began, Matt Murray, the starting goaltender for the Penguins, injured himself during warm-ups forcing Marc-Andre Fleury, who had been demoted to the backup for the season, to start the game; his team would win the game 3–1, making 31 saves in the process.[25] Sidney Crosby got a goal and two assists in Game 2 as the Penguins defeated the Blue Jackets 4–1 and took a 2–0 series lead.[26] In Game 3, Jake Guentzel scored a hat-trick, his third being the overtime-winner as the Penguins came back from a two-goal deficit and defeated the Blue Jackets 5–4 and take a 3–0 series lead.[27] Columbus avoided a sweep in Game 4, scoring with five different players in a 5–4 victory; this was also the franchise's first playoff win in regulation.[28] In Game 5, Bryan Rust scored twice, including the series-winner, and Fleury made 49 saves in a 5–2 win for the Penguins to advance to the second round.[29]

text: (C1) Chicago Blackhawks vs. (WC2) Nashville Predators[edit]

text: The Chicago Blackhawks finished first in the Central Division earning 109 points. The Nashville Predators finished as the Western Conference's second wild-card, earning 94 points. This was the third playoff meeting between these teams with Chicago winning both previous series. They last met in the 2015 Western Conference First Round, which Chicago won in six games. Chicago won four of the five games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Predators defeated the Blackhawks in a four-game sweep; this was the first time in NHL playoff history that an eighth-seeded team swept a playoff series against the top seed in their conference. Viktor Arvidsson scored the only goal in Game 1 as the Predators shut out the Blackhawks, stopping all 29 shots they faced.[30] The Blackhawks remained scoreless after Game 2, instead being outscored 5–0 with Pekka Rinne not only stopping all 30 shots he faced, but also providing two assists.[31] Chicago finally scored a goal in Game 3 and they maintained a two-goal lead throughout the second period, but in the third period, Filip Forsberg scored twice for Nashville to tie the game and send it to overtime. In overtime, Nashville forward Kevin Fiala skated around Chicago goalie Corey Crawford and put the puck past the Chicago netminder to complete the comeback in a 3–2 victory giving them their first 3–0 series lead.[32] In Game 4, Roman Josi scored twice in a 4–1 victory and Rinne made 30 saves for the Predators, who swept a playoff opponent for the first time in franchise history.[33]

text: The Anaheim Ducks finished first in the Pacific Division for the fifth consecutive year, this time earning 105 points. The Calgary Flames finished as the Western Conference's first wild-card, earning 94 points. This was the third playoff meeting between these teams with Anaheim winning both previous series. They last met in the 2015 Western Conference Second Round which Anaheim won in five games. Anaheim won four of the five games in this year's regular season series. Anaheim has also won 25 straight regular season home games against Calgary.

text: The Ducks defeated the Flames in a four-game sweep. In Game 1, both Ryan Getzlaf and Jakob Silfverberg had a goal and an assist, the latter of whom had the game-winning goal in a 3–2 victory for the Ducks.[39] Anaheim continued their home-dominance over Calgary defeating the Flames 3–2 with a goal and an assist by Getzlaf again.[40] The Flames had a lead of 4–1 in Game 3, forcing Ducks goaltender John Gibson to be replaced by Jonathan Bernier. The Ducks came back in this game, scoring three times, in what would become the fourth overtime game of this night. Corey Perry then threw the puck towards the net and it bounced off both Calgary goaltender Brian Elliott and defenceman Michael Stone and into the net, to give the Ducks a 3–0 series lead.[41] In Game 4, Gibson stopped 36 shots by the Flames, but allowed only one goal as the Ducks ended the series with a 3–1 win.[42]

text: (P2) Edmonton Oilers vs. (P3) San Jose Sharks[edit]

text: The Edmonton Oilers finished second in the Pacific Division with 103 points. The San Jose Sharks earned 99 points in the regular season to finish third in the Pacific. Edmonton started a playoff series at home for the first time since the 1991 Campbell Conference Finals. This was the second playoff meeting between these teams; their only previous series was the 2006 Western Conference Semifinals, which Edmonton won in six games. Edmonton won three of the five games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Oilers defeated the Sharks in six games. In Edmonton's first playoff game since 2006, the Oilers took a 2–0 lead in the first period, but the Sharks scored three goals over the second, third, and first overtime period winning the game 3–2 from Melker Karlsson's goal.[43] The Oilers scored two shorthanded goals in Game 2 as they blanked San Jose 2–0.[44] The shutout streak continued in Game 3, as Zack Kassian scored the only goal for the Oilers and Cam Talbot stopped 23 shots.[45] Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored two goals each and Martin Jones stopped all 23 shots as the Sharks blanked the Oilers 7–0 in Game 4 to tie the series at two.[46] The Sharks gained a 3–1 lead over the Oilers in Game 5, but both Mark Letestu and Oscar Klefbom scored to tie the game and send it to overtime. David Desharnais would end it at 18:15 of overtime to give the Oilers a 4–3 triumph and a 3–2 series lead.[47] In Game 6, the Oilers scored twice in the second period, both on breakaways, and closed out the series with a 3–1 win.[48]

text: (A2) Ottawa Senators vs. (WC1) New York Rangers[edit]

text: This was the second playoff meeting between these two teams; their only previous series was in the 2012 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, which New York won in seven games. This is the second time under the current playoff format and the second year in a row in which a wild-card team has more points than its opponent during the regular season but does not have home ice advantage; the other time was the Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Islanders in last year's Eastern Conference Second Round. Ottawa won two of the three games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Senators defeated the Rangers in six games. In Game 1, goaltender Craig Anderson made 34 saves in a 2–1 victory for the Senators.[49] The Rangers had leads of 3–1, 4–2, and 5–3 in Game 2 only to have the Senators tie up the game on Jean-Gabriel Pageau's hat-trick goal with 1:02 remaining. In double-overtime, Pageau's fourth goal of the game gave the Senators a 6–5 win and a 2–0 series lead. In doing this, he became the first player to score four goals in a playoff game since Johan Franzen scored four goals for the Detroit Red Wings in Game 4 of their 2010 second round series against the San Jose Sharks.[50] Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist in Game 3 as the Rangers won the affair 4–1.[51] The Rangers defeated the Senators 4–1 again in Game 4 tying the series 2–2; Oscar Lindberg scored twice in the victory.[52] The Rangers got an early two-goal lead in Game 5, but the Senators came back scoring three goals in return. The Rangers regained the lead, but former Ranger Derick Brassard tied the game in the final minutes to send it to overtime. Kyle Turris ended the game 6:28 into overtime to give the Senators a 5–4 victory and a 3–2 series lead.[53] In Game 6, Erik Karlsson netted the series-winning goal and added an assist for the Senators who advanced to the Conference Finals for the first time in ten years after a 4–2 victory.

text: This was the second playoff meeting between these teams; their only previous series was in the 2006 Western Conference Finals, which Edmonton won in five games. Edmonton won three of the five games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Ducks defeated the Oilers in seven games. Mark Letestu scored twice and Leon Draisaitl had a goal and three assists as the Oilers, who once gained a 3–1 lead in the third period to see the Ducks tie the game in less than three minutes, scored twice in the final five minutes to achieve a 5–3 lead and thus the victory.[67] Goalie Cam Talbot stopped 39 shots and former-Duck Patrick Maroon scored the game-winning goal in Game 2 for the Oilers' 2–1 victory.[68] Anaheim took an early 3–0 lead in Game 3 only to see the Oilers tie the game. The Ducks took the lead back in the second period with Chris Wagner's goal, then Jakob Silfverberg scored his second of the game and Ryan Kesler provided an insurance goal to close out the game 6–3.[69] In Game 4, Ryan Getzlaf scored twice to take the lead for the Ducks after being down 2–0 in the game, then in 45 seconds into overtime, Silfverberg scored to give the Ducks the victory and the series tie.[70] The Oilers gained a 3–0 lead in Game 5, but with 3:16 left in the game, the Ducks scored three times to tie the game becoming the first team to score three goals in that span of time left to tie the game. The comeback was complete at 6:57 of double-overtime when Corey Perry gave Ducks a 4–3 victory and a 3–2 series lead.[71] The Oilers scored five times in the first period of Game 6 and Draisaitl had a hat trick along with two assists to defeat the Ducks 7–1 and force a seventh game.[72] In Game 7, Nick Ritchie's goal proved to be the series-winner as the Ducks were able to win a seventh game for the first time since 2006 and advance to the Conference Finals with a 2–1 victory.[73]

text: (M2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (A2) Ottawa Senators[edit]

text: This was the fifth playoff meeting between these teams with Pittsburgh winning three of the four previous series. They last met in the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals, which Pittsburgh won in five games. This was the second consecutive Conference Finals for Pittsburgh who defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning last year in seven games. Ottawa last went to the Conference Finals in 2007; they defeated the Buffalo Sabres in five games. Ottawa won two of the three games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Penguins defeated the Senators in seven games. In Game 1, the Senators held onto a one-goal lead until Evgeni Malkin tied the game in the third period, but in overtime, Bobby Ryan scored to give Ottawa a 2–1 victory.[74] Game 2 remained scoreless until Phil Kessel scored with 6:55 left in the game to give the Penguins a 1–0 lead and the victory; Marc-Andre Fleury made 23 saves in the process.[75] In the first period of Game 3, the Senators scored four times including three in a span of 2:18 leading them into a 5–1 victory.[76] In his first playoff game since his injury before the first game of the playoffs, goaltender Matt Murray made 24 saves and stopped a comeback from Ottawa in a 3–2 victory for Pittsburgh.[77] Murray stopped all 26 shots and the Penguins routed the Senators 7–0 in Game 5 to take a 3–2 series lead.[78] Craig Anderson made 45 saves in Game 6, forcing a seventh game in a 2–1 victory.[79] In Game 7, Chris Kunitz of the Penguins and Mark Stone of the Senators started the scoring 20 seconds apart in the second period. After both Justin Schultz and Ryan Dzingel made the game 2–2, the match headed into overtime. Schultz's goal was scored on a power-play resulting from a controversial tripping penalty on Dion Phaneuf where Phil Kessel appears to take a dive. In double-overtime, Kunitz scored his second of the game to send the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Finals for the second consecutive year.[80]

text: This was the second consecutive playoff meeting and the third overall between these teams with Nashville winning both previous series, including a seven-game win in last year's first round. This was Anaheim's fifth Conference Finals. They last made the Conference Finals in 2015 where they were defeated in seven games by the Chicago Blackhawks. This was Nashville's first Conference Finals appearance in their 19-year history. Anaheim won two of the three games in this year's regular season series.

text: The Predators defeated the Ducks in six games. The first game of the series went into overtime, and at 9:24 James Neal put the puck past the Ducks goaltender to take Game 1, 3–2.[81] In Game 2, the Ducks rallied from an early-two-goal deficit to defeat the Predators 5–3 and Ryan Getzlaf assisted thrice in the victory.[82] Nashville kept their home playoff win streak alive in Game 3, winning 2–1; after a pair of goals were disallowed due to goaltender interference, Roman Josi scored for the Predators with 2:43 left in the game.[83] Although Nashville tied the game after being down by two goals in Game 4, Anaheim won the game on Corey Perry's goal 10:25 into overtime, tying the series 2–2 in a 3–2 victory.[84] Pekka Rinne made 32 saves in Game 5 for the Predators as Nashville took a 3–2 series lead in a 3–1 victory.[85] In Game 6, Colton Sissons' hat trick goal was the series-winning goal in a 6–3 victory, putting the Nashville Predators in the Finals for the first time in their 19-year history.[86]

text: Television[edit]

text: This marked the sixth postseason under NBC Sports' current 10-year contract for American television rights to the NHL. All national coverage of games aired on either NBCSN, the NBC broadcast network, NHL Network, USA Network, or CNBC. During the first round, excluding games exclusively broadcast on NBC, the regional rightsholders of each participating U.S. team produced local telecasts of their respective games; NBCUniversal held exclusive rights to all games from the second round onward. Unlike past seasons, the national broadcasts were no longer blacked out on television in the markets of participating teams, and could co-exist with the local broadcasts (however, NBC-provided streaming was still restricted in Boston and Pittsburgh).[89]

text: For first-round games involving Chicago, San Jose and Washington—teams whose regional rights are held by the co-owned CSN regional sports networks—the national broadcasts shared the same video as the local broadcasts but overdubbed with NBC Sports commentators. This was done so NBC would not have to bring additional equipment to these games to produce an entirely separate telecast for the national audience.[89]

text: In Canada, for the third postseason under Rogers Media's current 12-year contract, coverage was broadcast by Sportsnet networks and CBC Television under the Hockey Night in Canada brand, and streamed on Sportsnet Now, CBCSports.ca (for games televised by CBC), or the subscription service Rogers NHL GameCentre Live.[90] French-language coverage was on TVA Sports. Rogers agreed not to schedule games on CBC for the first four Sunday nights of the playoffs, so that the network could broadcast Canada: The Story of Us, a documentary series it had commissioned as part of programming commemorating the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation.[91]

Flat iron steak

Beef Cuts

Type
Chuck cut of beef

text: Flat iron steak (US), butlers' steak (UK), or oyster blade steak (Australia and New Zealand) is a cut of steak cut with the grain from the shoulder of the animal. This produces a flavorful cut that is a bit tough because it contains a gristly fascia membrane unless removed.[1] Some restaurants offer it on their menu, often at lower price than the more popular rib-eye and strip steaks of the same grade. This is used, in some places, as a means of selling a less expensive cut from the same animal, for example Kobe beef.

text: The cut[edit]

text: This cut of steak is from the shoulder of a beef animal.[2] It is located adjacent to the heart of the shoulder clod, under the seven or paddle bone (shoulder blade or scapula). The steak encompasses the infraspinatus muscles of beef, and one may see this displayed in some butcher shops and meat markets as a "top blade" roast. Anatomically, the muscle forms the dorsal part of the rotator cuff of the steer. This cut is anatomically distinct from the shoulder tender, which lies directly below it and is the teres major.

text: Flat iron steaks usually have a significant amount of marbling. To make it more marketable, the steak, which has the fascia dividing the infraspinatus within it, has increasingly been cut as two flatter steaks, each corresponding to one muscle, with the tough fascia removed. Steaks that are cross cut from this muscle are called top blade steaks or patio steaks. As a whole cut of meat, it usually weighs around two to three pounds; the entire top blade usually yields four steaks between eight and 12 ounces each.

text: In the North American Meat Processor (NAMP) meat buyers guide, it is item #1114D Beef Shoulder, Top Blade Steak.[2] This cut was invented in 2002 by university researchers Chris Calkins and Dwain Johnson.[3]

question_text: what kind of love is 1 corinthians 13 talking about

text: 1 Corinthians 13

text: Text[edit]

text:
The original text is written in Koine Greek.
Some most ancient manuscripts containing this chapter are:

Codex Vaticanus (AD 325-350)
Codex Sinaiticus (AD 330-360)
Codex Alexandrinus (ca. AD 400-440)
Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (ca. AD 450; extant: verses 1-7).
Codex Claromontanus (ca. AD 550)

This chapter is divided into 13 verses.

tag: ul

text: English translation[edit]

text: New King James Version

text: 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, 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, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[4] but have not love, it profits me nothing.

text: 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

text: 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

text: 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

text: 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

text: Agape[edit]

text: This chapter of 1 Corinthians is one of many definitional sources for the word agape when used to refer to divine love.[5] Introducing his homage to love in 1 Corinthians 12:31, Paul describes agape as "a more excellent way".

text: "Through a glass, darkly"[edit]

text: 1 Corinthians 13:12 contains the phrase βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι' ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι (blepomen gar arti di esoptrou en ainigmati), which was translated in the 1560 Geneva Bible as "For now we see through a glass darkly" (without a comma), which wording was used in the 1611 KJV, which added a comma before "darkly". This passage has inspired the titles of many works, with or without the comma.[6]

text: The word ἐσόπτρου esoptrou (genitive; nominative: ἔσοπτρον esoptron), here translated "glass", is ambiguous, possibly referring to a mirror or a lens. Influenced by Strong's Concordance, many modern translations conclude that this word refers specifically to a mirror.[7] Example English-language translations include:

text:
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror (New International Version)
What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror (Good News Bible)

text: Paul's usage is in keeping with rabbinic use of the term אספקלריה (aspaklaria), a borrowing from the Latin specularia. This has the same ambiguous meaning, although Adam Clarke concluded that it was a reference to specularibus lapidibus, clear polished stones used as lenses or windows.[8] One way to preserve this ambiguity is to use the English cognate, speculum.[9] Rabbi Judah ben Ilai (2nd century) was quoted as saying "All the prophets had a vision of God as He appeared through nine specula" while "Moses saw God through one speculum."[10] The Babylonian Talmud states similarly "All the prophets gazed through a speculum that does not shine, while Moses our teacher gazed through a speculum that shines."[11]

text: Other notable passages[edit]

text: There are other passages from 1 Corinthians 13 which have been notably influential.

text: Perhaps the most significant portion of 1 Corinthians 13 is the revered passage that defines love and indicates how Christians should love others.

text: Verse 1[edit]

text: 1 Corinthians 13, verse 1: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal."

text: Bob Dylan paraphrases verse 1 in his song 'Dignity': "I heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men... wasn't any difference to me."

text: Verse 4-8[edit]

text: 1 Corinthians 13, verses 4-8, and 13: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ...And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love." (New International Version)

text: The passage is frequently read during wedding ceremonies.

text: The passage is also used in the song "Pag-ibig" by Yeng Constantino.[12][better source needed]

text: Verse 11[edit]

text: The verse was used in the 1995 anime, Ghost in the Shell, at time 1:16:55.

text: The verse is quoted by Matthew Lillard in the 1995 film Hackers, at time 01:03:03

text: U.S. President Barack Obama referenced verse 11 in his inaugural address to the nation on January 20, 2009.[14]

text: The verse is quoted by Dakin Matthews in the 1991 film, Child's Play 3

text: Verse 13[edit]

text: Verse 13, in praise of the Theological virtues:

text: US president Franklin D. Roosevelt took the oath at his inauguration in 1933, with his hand on his family Bible, open to 1 Corinthians 13.

text: Verse 13 is paraphrased in country singer Alan Jackson's 2001 hit "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)".

text: British Prime Minister Tony Blair read 1 Corinthians 13 at the Funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997.[15]

text: Adaptations[edit]

text: Soundtrack of the film Three Colors: Blue composed by Zbigniew Preisner features a solo soprano singing the epistle in Greek (in a piece titled "Song for the Unification of Europe").

text: The paragraphs 1-3 and 12-13 of the text are cited for the fourth song of the Vier ernste Gesänge by Johannes Brahms.

text: The Renaissance composer Orlando di Lasso set verses 11-13 in his sacred motet "Cum essem parvulus."

text: A paraphrase of the text is the basis for the song "Love Is the Law" composed and sung by Australian musician Paul Kelly.

text: Symphony No.6 "Liturgical" for baritone, choir and orchestra by Andrei Yakovlevich Eshpai (1989).

text: Joni Mitchell uses much of the text in 20th century vernacular including "through a glass darkly" in her song "Love" from her 1982 album Wild Things Run Fast, and fully--and dramatically--orchestrated on her 2002 retrospective Travelogue.

text: The Rolling Stones paraphrase the verse in the title of their 1969 compilation album Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2).

text: Macklemore uses the verse "Love is patient. Love is kind" in his 2012 song, "Same Love".

text: Video game developer Arkane Studios paraphrased the title of Lewis Carroll's book by linking it with the verse, as the title for a chapter in their game "Prey": "Through the Looking Glass Darkly".

text: The text is drawn on / paraphrased in Lauryn Hill's song 'Tell Him' hidden on 'The Miseducation Of ..."[16]

document_title: Letty Ortiz

question_text: which fast and furious does letty die in

text: Letty Ortiz

text: Concept and creation[edit]

text: The series The Fast and the Furious were inspired by an article on street racing, "Racer X", that appeared in the May 1998 issue of Vibe magazine.[2] Leticia Ortiz is Dominic Toretto's love interest, and director Rob Cohen said he "flipped out" over Michelle Rodriguez' performance as a teenager who boxes in the 2000 drama Girlfight. "We needed someone who could play a Joan Jett-type character who is really wild", said Cohen.[3]

text: Appearances[edit]

text: The Fast and the Furious[edit]

text: In The Fast and the Furious, Letty is Dominic Toretto's girlfriend. She helps Dominic and his crew (Jesse, Leon and Vince) in a string of high-speed, semi-trailer truck hijackings, stealing over $6 million in merchandise. Brian O'Conner is sent undercover on a joint LAPD-FBI investigation to apprehend the gang, and he start dating Dominic's sister Mia Toretto. During the "Race Wars" Letty won a race, while Jesse races and loses his imprisoned father's modified 1995 Volkswagen Jetta to Dominic's rival, Johnny Tran, and he flees the track in panic. Early the next morning, Letty and Dominic's crew leave "Race Wars" to commit another hijacking. Brian O'Conner confesses to Mia Toretto his status as an undercover cop, and tracks Dominic's location by triangulating his cell phone signal. They arrive at the hijacking in-progress to find Letty, badly injured at the car accident and Vince critically wounded, having been shot by the truck driver. Brian then blows his cover to the crew by phoning in for a medivac and Letty flees with Dominic, Leon and Mia as the medivac arrives for Vince.

text: Fast & Furious[edit]

text: In Fast & Furious, Letty and Dominic's new crew (Tego, Rico, Cara and Han Lue), is hijacking fuel tankers in the Dominican Republic. Dominic begins to suspect the trail is too hot and leaves Letty to go elsewhere to avoid being caught. In Panama City, Dominic gets a call from his sister, Mia Toretto, who tells him that Letty has been murdered after getting into a near fatal car accident. Dominic heads back to Los Angeles to examine Letty's crash, and later he finds the man who killed her. Meanwhile, F.B.I. agent Brian O'Conner is trying to track down the same man who killed Letty, named Arturo Braga, and Dominic finds that he was able to plant Letty undercover to capture Braga in exchange for Dominic's freedom when she was murdered.

text: Fast Five[edit]

text: In Fast Five, Letty appears in a post-credits scene in photographs. Hobbs receives a file regarding a robbery, in which Leticia's photograph is attached, suggesting that she is involved with the robbery, and is still alive.

text: Fast & Furious 6[edit]

text: In Fast & Furious 6, it is revealed that she has amnesia, and is part of a lethally skilled mercenary organization led by Owen Shaw, a criminal mastermind. Dominic makes several attempts to try and reach out to her. It was revealed that Brian felt guilty for having Letty be an informant for the FBI to help him to take down Arturo Braga and having this led to her being presumed dead. She is also described as a tough street woman by Riley, which is true during their first encounter. Shaw orders Letty to detach a cable line to Roman's car that was holding the tank from escaping. While attempting to do so, she is rescued by Dominic, gaining her full trust in him. Brian attempts to apologize to her, but Letty tells him that she doesn't remember much for being an informant and if she did, no one forces her to do something she doesn't want to do. She assists Hobbs, Dom and the others in stopping both Owen and Riley. Despite not being able to remember her previous life with Dom, she returns home with him stating that "it feels like home".
