Printed from the Blue Letter Bible

King James Version (KJV)

1 Corinthians - Chapter 13

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