1 Corinthians 13 |
| 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not... [love], 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... [love], 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... [love], it profiteth me nothing. 4 ...[Love] suffereth long, and is kind;... [love] envieth not;...[love] vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not... 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 ...[love] never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it... [will] 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... [will] 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... also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope,...[love], these three; but the greatest of these is... [love]. 1 Corinthians 13 |
