1 Corinthians 13 :: King James Version (KJV)

The Excellence of Love

1Co 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.

1Co 13:2

1Co 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.

1Co 13:3

1Co 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.

1Co 13:4

1Co 13:4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1Co 13:5

1Co 13:5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

1Co 13:6

1Co 13:6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

1Co 13:7

1Co 13:7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

1Co 13:8

1Co 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.

1Co 13:9

1Co 13:9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1Co 13:10

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

1Co 13:11

1Co 13:11When 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.

1Co 13:12

1Co 13:12For 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.

1Co 13:13

1Co 13:13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
