Worsley - I Corinthians - 13

13:1  For if I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am but as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

13:2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and am acquainted with all mysteries, and all knowledge: yea if I have faith, even. to remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

13:3  And though I give all my substance to feed the poor, and my body to be burnt, and have not charity, I am nothing profited.

13:4  Charity beareth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity is not insolent, is not puffed up,

13:5  doth not behave indecently, is not selfish, is not easily provoked,

13:6  suspecteth no evil, rejoiceth not at injustice, but rejoiceth in the truth:

13:7  covereth all faults, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

13:8  Charity never faileth: but as to prophecies, they shall be abolished; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be laid aside.

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

13:10  But when that which is perfect shall come, then that which is defective shall be laid aside.

13:11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I became a man, I laid aside childish things.

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

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