Corinthians Chapter 13
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. 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.
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. 13:4 Charity
suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 13:5 Doth
not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not
easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 13:6 Rejoiceth
not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 13:7 Beareth
all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things. 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. 13:9 For
we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 13:10 But
when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in
part shall be done away. 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. 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.
13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
