1ST CORINTHIANS 13

1 If I speak with tongues of men and of angels, and I have not charity, I am made as brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling. 2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowing, [or science], and if I have all faith, so that I move hills from their place, [or from one place to another], and I have not charity, I am nought. 3 And if I part all my goods into the meats of poor men, and if I betake my body, so that I burn, and if I have not charity, it profiteth to me nothing. 4 Charity is patient, it is benign; charity envieth not, it doeth not wickedly, it is not blown [with pride], 5 it is not covetous, [or ambitious, or covetous of worships], it seeketh not those things that be his own [or her own], it is not stirred to wrath, it thinketh not evil, 6 it joyeth not on [or in] wicked-ness, but it joyeth together to [or with] truth; 7 it suffereth all things, it believeth all things, it hopeth all things, it sustaineth all things. 8 Charity falleth never down, whether prophecies shall be voided, either languages shall cease, either science shall be destroyed. 9 For a part we know, and a part we prophesy; 10 but when that shall come that is perfect, that thing that is of part shall be voided. 11 When I was a little child, I spake as a little child, I understood as a little child, I thought as a little child; but when I was made a man, I avoided/I voided those things that were of a little child. 12 And we see now by a mirror in darkness, but then face to face; now I know of part, but then I shall know, as I am known. 13 And now dwell faith, hope, charity, these three; but the most of these is charity.
