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. | speak with the tongues charity |
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. | feed the poor |
4 | Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, | Charity suffereth long |
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. | they shall fail |
9 | For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. | know in part |
10 | But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. | that which is perfect |
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. | a child |
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. | through a glass, darkly |
13 |
And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

these three |
