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