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