Acts 8:18-19 KJV
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, [19] Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

"Acts 8:13 KJV
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done."
"Acts 8:13 KJV
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done."

"1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. 1 Corinthians 13:1 KJV
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."

Genuine Love is the excellent way.
Loving God and loving man.
Loving God and loving man.
