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