1Though1437 I speak2980 with the tongues1100 of men444 and2532 of angels32, and1161 have2192 not3361 charity26, I am become1096 as sounding2278 brass5475, or2228 a tinkling214 cymbal2950.
2And2532 though1437 I have2192 the gift of prophecy4394, and2532 understand1492 all3956 mysteries3466, and2532 all3956 knowledge1108; and2532 though1437 I have2192 all3956 faith4102, so5620 that I could remove3179 mountains3735, and1161 have2192 not3361 charity26, I am1510 nothing3762.
3And2532 though1437 I bestow5595 all3956 my3450 goods5224 to feed5595 the poor, and2532 though1437 I give3860 my3450 body4983 to2443 be burned2545, and1161 have2192 not3361 charity26, it profiteth me5623 nothing3762.
4Charity26 suffereth long3114, and is kind5541; charity26 envieth2206 not3756; charity26 vaunteth4068 not3756 itself4068, is5448 not3756 puffed up5448,
5Doth807 not3756 behave itself unseemly807, seeketh2212 not3756 her own1438, is3947 not3756 easily provoked3947, thinketh3049 no3756 evil2556;
6Rejoiceth5463 not3756 in1909 iniquity93, but1161 rejoiceth4796 in the truth225;
7Beareth4722 all things3956, believeth4100 all things3956, hopeth1679 all things3956, endureth5278 all things3956.
8Charity26 never3763 faileth1601: but1161 whether1535 there be prophecies4394, they shall fail2673; whether1535 there be tongues1100, they shall cease3973; whether1535 there be knowledge1108, it shall vanish away2673.
9For1063 we know1097 in1537 part3313, and2532 we prophesy4395 in1537 part3313.
10But1161 when3752 that which is perfect5046 is come2064, then5119 that which is in1537 part3313 shall be done away2673.
11When3753 I was2252 a child3516, I spake2980 as5613 a child3516, I understood5426 as5613 a child3516, I thought3049 as5613 a child3516: but1161 when3753 I became1096 a man435, I put away2673 childish things3516.
12For1063 now737 we see991 through1223 a glass2072, darkly1722 135; but1161 then5119 face4383 to4314 face4383: now737 I know1097 in1537 part3313; but1161 then5119 shall I know1921 even as2531 also2532 I am known1921.
13And1161 now3570 abideth3306 faith4102, hope1680, charity26, these5023 three5140; but1161 the greatest3187 of these5130 is charity26.
