12:31But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

13:1THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

13:2And 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.

13:3And 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.

13:4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

13:5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Selected passage

13:6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

13:7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

13:8Charity 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.

13:13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
