KJB-1611 1COR Chapter 13

0 1 All giftes, 2. 3 how excellent soeuer, are nothing worth without charitie. 4 The praises therof, and 13 prelation before hope & faith. XIII ¶ Though I speake with the tongues of men & of Angels, and haue not charity, I am become as sounding brasse or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I haue the gift of prophesie, and vnderstand all mysteries and all knowledge: and though I haue all faith, so that I could remooue mountaines, and haue no charitie, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestowe all my goods to feede the poore, and though I giue my body to bee burned, and haue not charitie, it profiteth me nothing. 4 [fn]Charitie suffereth long, and is kinde: charitie enuieth not: charitie vaunteth not it selfe, is not puffed vp, 5 Doeth not behaue it selfe vnseemly, seeketh not her owne, is not easily prouoked, thinketh no euill, 6 [fn]Reioyceth not in iniquitie, but reioyceth in the trueth: 7 Beareth all things, beleeueth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charitie neuer faileth: but whether there be prophesies, they shall faile; whether there bee tongues, they shall cease; whether there bee knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesie in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part, shalbe done away. 11 [fn]When I was a childe, I spake as a childe, I vnderstood as a childe, I thought as a childe: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 [fn]For now we see through a glasse, darkely: but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know euen as also I am knowen. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charitie, these three, but the greatest of these is charitie.

13:4 Or, is not rash.

13:6 Or, with the trueth.

13:11 Or, reasoned.

13:12 Gr. in a riddle.
