RWebster - I Corinthians - 13

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.

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.

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.

13:4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

13:5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

13:8  Charity never faileth: but whetherthere areprophecies, they shall be done away; whetherthere aretongues, they shall cease; whetherthere isknowledge, it shall vanish away.

13:9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

13:10  But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

13:11  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 childish things.

13:12  For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13:13  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
