Chapter 13
I Co Rotherha 13:1  Although with the tongues of men, I be speaking, and of messengers, and have not, love, I have become resounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;
I Co Rotherha 13:2  And, though I have [the gift of] prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge,—and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing;
I Co Rotherha 13:3  And, though I morsel out all my goods,—and though I deliver up my body, that I may boast, and have not, love, I am profited, nothing.
I Co Rotherha 13:4  Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
I Co Rotherha 13:5  Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base,
I Co Rotherha 13:6  Rejoiceth not over unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in sympathy with truth,—
I Co Rotherha 13:7  All things, covereth, all things, believeth, all things, hopeth, all things, endureth.
I Co Rotherha 13:8  Love, at no time, faileth;—but, whether prophesyings, they shall be done away, whether tongues, they shall cease, whether gaining knowledge, it shall be done away;
I Co Rotherha 13:9  For, in part, are we gaining knowledge, and, in part, are we prophesying,—
I Co Rotherha 13:10  But, as soon as that which is complete is come, that which is in part, shall be done away.
I Co Rotherha 13:11  When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, to prefer as child, to reason as a child: now I have become a man, I have laid aside the things of the child!
I Co Rotherha 13:12  For we see, as yet, through a dim window, obscurely, but, then, face to face: as yet, I gain knowledge, in part, but, then, shall I fully know, even as I was also fully known.
I Co Rotherha 13:13  But, now abide—faith, hope, love,—these three; but, the greatest of these, is, love.
