1Co 1 Corinthians, chapter First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 13
Though I speak with the tongues (foreign languages) of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
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.Mat 7:22
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 profits me nothing.Mat 6:1
Charity suffers long, [and] is kind; charity envies not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Pro 10:12; 1Pe 4:8; Php 2:3
Does not behave itself inappropriate, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;Rom 15:1
Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Gal 6:2
Charity never fails: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues (foreign languages), they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.2Co 5:7
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.Php 3:12; 2Ti 2:19
And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
