Exegesis
The contrast is introduced by de mē echo {δὲ μὴ ἔχω | dé mḗ é-khō} ‘but I do not have’, where agapēn {ἀγάπην | a-gá-pēn} ‘love’ is the direct object and the decisive criterion in the condition.
In context — 1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a sounding brass or a clanging cymbal .
