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
vaunteth
not
itself,
is
not
puffed
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.
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
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.
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.
13
And
now
abideth
faith,
hope,
charity,
these
three;
but
the
greatest
of
these
[is]
charity.
