I Corinthians

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
  5. 5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
  6. 6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
  7. 7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
  8. 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.
