CHAP. XIII.
1 All gifts, 2, 3 how excellent soever, are nothing
worth without charity. 4 The praises of
it, and 13 preference before hope and faith.
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.
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 note vaunteth
not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth
note in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all
things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether
there are prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there are languages, they shall
cease; whether there is 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 spoke as a
child, I understood as a child, I note thought
as a child: but when I became a man, I
put away note childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass
note 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.
