CHAPTER 13.
1 IF 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 And if I should have prophecy and should know all
mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could
remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the
poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it
profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not,
dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up;
5 Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not
provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the
truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall
be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, that which
is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood
as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the
things of a child.
12 We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but
then face to face. Now I know I part; but then I shall know even as I am known.
13 And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these
three: but the greatest of these is charity.
