(1co 13:1) 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.
(1co 13:2) 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, and have not charity, I am nothing.
(1co 13:3) And though I bestow all my goods to feed {the poor}, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
(1co 13:4) Charity suffereth long, {and} is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
(1co 13:5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
(1co 13:6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
(1co 13:7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
(1co 13:8) Charity never faileth: but whether {there be} prophecies, they shall fail; whether {there be} tongues, they shall cease; whether {there be} knowledge, it shall vanish away.
(1co 13:9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
(1co 13:10) But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
(1co 13:11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
(1co 13:12) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
(1co 13:13) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these {is} charity.
