Book of Corinthians 1 - Chapter 13

Corinthians 1 13:1

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.

Corinthians 1 13:2

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.

Corinthians 1 13:3

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.

Corinthians 1 13:4

Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Corinthians 1 13:5

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Corinthians 1 13:6

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Corinthians 1 13:7

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Corinthians 1 13:8

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.

Corinthians 1 13:9

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

Corinthians 1 13:10

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

Corinthians 1 13:11

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.

Corinthians 1 13:12

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.

Corinthians 1 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
