1 Corinthians 13

1. (1corin 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. (1corin 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.
3. (1corin 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.
4. (1corin 13:4) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5. (1corin 13:5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6. (1corin 13:6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7. (1corin 13:7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8. (1corin 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.
9. (1corin 13:9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10. (1corin 13:10) But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11. (1corin 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.
12. (1corin 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. (1corin 13:13) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
