 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.
 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.
 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.
 13:4  Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth
not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
 13:5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is
not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
 13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
 13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things.
 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.
 13:9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
 13:10  But when that which is perfect is come, then that which
is in part shall be done away.
 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.
 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.
 13:13  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but
the greatest of these [is] charity.
