1Corinthians 13

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, (1 Corinthians 8:1; Ephesians 5:2; 1 Thessalonians 3:6; 2 Thessalonians 1:3; 1 Timothy 2:15; 1 Timothy 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:22; 2 Timothy 3:10; 2 Peter 1:7; 3 John 1:6; Jude 1:12; Revelation 2:19) I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:1

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy (Numbers 24:4; Matthew 7:22; John 11:51) , and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, (Matthew 21:21) and have not charity, I am nothing.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:2

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.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:3

4 Charity suffereth (1 Peter 4:8) long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:4

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly (Philippians 4:8) , seeketh not her own, (Philippians 2:4) is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:5

6 Rejoiceth not (Psalms 10:3; Romans 1:32) in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; (2 John 1:4)KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:6

7 Beareth (Galatians 6:2) all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:7

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, (Jeremiah 23:25; Ezekiel 22:28; Zechariah 13:2) they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:8

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:9

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:10

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.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:11

12 For now we see through a glass, (2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 5:7) darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know (1 John 3:2) even as also I am known.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:12

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest (Matthew 22:38) of these is charity.KJRV — 1Corinthians 13:13
