Chapter 13

1

 If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; 

 


2

 and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; 

 


3

 and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing. 

 


4

 The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, 

 


5

 doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil, 

 


6

 rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; 

 


7

 all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth. 

 


8

 The love doth never fail; and whether [there be] prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; 

 


9

 for in part we know, and in part we prophecy; 

 


10

 and when that which is perfect may come, then that which [is] in part shall become useless. 

 


11

 When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; 

 


12

 for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known; 

 


13

 and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.
