Chap. XIII.
That aboue al other Giftes they should seeke after Charitie: as that vvithout vvhich
nothing profiteth, 4 and vvhich doth al as is to be done, and remaineth also
in heauen.
1 noteIf I speake vvith the tonges of men and
of Angels, and haue09Q1133not charitie: I am
become as sounding brasse, or a tinkling
cymbal.
2 And if I should haue prophecie,
and knevv al mysteries, and al knovvledge,
and if I should note haue al faith
so that I could remoue mountaines, and
haue not charitie, I am nothing.
3 And if I should distribute
al my goods to be meate for the poore, and if I should09Q1134deliuer
my body so that I burne, and haue not charitie, it doth
profit me nothing.
4 Charitie is patient, is benigne: Charitie enuieth not,
dealeth not peruersly: is not puffed vp,
5 is not ambitious,
seeketh not her ovvne, is not prouoked to anger, thinketh
not euil:
6 reioyceth not vpon iniquitie, but reioyceth
-- --
vvith the truth:
7 suffereth al things, beleeueth al things, hopeth
al things, beareth al things.
8 Charitie neuer falleth
avvay: vvhether prophecies shal be made voide, or tonges
shal cease, or knovvledge shal be destroied.
9 For in part
vve knovv, and in part vve prophecie.
10 But note vvhen that
shal come that is perfect, that shal be made voide that is in
part.
11 Vvhen I vvas a litle one, I spake as a litle one, I vnderstood
as a litle one, I thought as a litle one. But vvhen I vvas
made a man, I did avvay the things that bel&obar;ged to a litle one.
12 Vve see novv by a glasse in a darke sort: but then face to
face. Novv I knovv in part: but then I shal knovv as also I
am knovven.
13 And novv there remaine, faith, hope, charitie,
09Q1135these three. but the note greater of these is charitie.
