Though¹⁴³⁷ I speak²⁹⁸⁰ with the tongues¹¹⁰⁰ of men⁴⁴⁴ and²⁵³² of angels³², and¹¹⁶¹ have²¹⁹² not³³⁶¹ charity²⁶, I am become¹⁰⁹⁶ as sounding²²⁷⁸ brass⁵⁴⁷⁵, or²²²⁸ a tinkling²¹⁴ cymbal²⁹⁵⁰.

Romans 13:9-10; 1 John 4:7-20

And²⁵³² 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.

And²⁵³² 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.

Charity²⁶ suffereth long³¹¹⁴, and is kind⁵⁵⁴¹; charity²⁶ envieth²²⁰⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶; charity²⁶ vaunteth⁴⁰⁶⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ itself⁴⁰⁶⁸, is⁵⁴⁴⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ puffed up⁵⁴⁴⁸,

Doth⁸⁰⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ behave itself unseemly⁸⁰⁷, seeketh²²¹² not³⁷⁵⁶ her own¹⁴³⁸, is³⁹⁴⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ easily provoked³⁹⁴⁷, thinketh³⁰⁴⁹ no³⁷⁵⁶ evil²⁵⁵⁶;

Rejoiceth⁵⁴⁶³ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁹⁰⁹ iniquity⁹³, but¹¹⁶¹ rejoiceth⁴⁷⁹⁶ in the truth²²⁵;

Beareth⁴⁷²² all things³⁹⁵⁶, believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ all things³⁹⁵⁶, hopeth¹⁶⁷⁹ all things³⁹⁵⁶, endureth⁵²⁷⁸ all things³⁹⁵⁶.

Charity²⁶ 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.

For¹⁰⁶³ we know¹⁰⁹⁷ in¹⁵³⁷ part³³¹³, and²⁵³² we prophesy⁴³⁹⁵ in¹⁵³⁷ part³³¹³.

But¹¹⁶¹ when³⁷⁵² that which is perfect⁵⁰⁴⁶ is come²⁰⁶⁴, then⁵¹¹⁹ that which is in¹⁵³⁷ part³³¹³ shall be done away²⁶⁷³.

When³⁷⁵³ 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.

For¹⁰⁶³ now⁷³⁷ we see⁹⁹¹ through¹²²³ a glass²⁰⁷², darkly¹⁷²²; but¹¹⁶¹ then⁵¹¹⁹ face⁴³⁸³ to⁴³¹⁴ face⁴³⁸³: now⁷³⁷ I know¹⁰⁹⁷ in¹⁵³⁷ part³³¹³; but¹¹⁶¹ then⁵¹¹⁹ shall I know¹⁹²¹ even as²⁵³¹ also²⁵³² I am known¹⁹²¹.

And¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ abideth³³⁰⁶ faith⁴¹⁰², hope¹⁶⁸⁰, charity²⁶, these⁵⁰²³ three⁵¹⁴⁰; but¹¹⁶¹ the greatest³¹⁸⁷ of these⁵¹³⁰ is charity²⁶.
