131Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become
as
sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.+2And 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.+3And 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.+4Charity suffereth long,
and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,+5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;+6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;+7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.+8Charity 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.+9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.+10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.+11When 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.+12For 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.+13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these
is charity.+
