1Though <1437> I speak <2980> (5725) with the tongues <1100> of men <444> and <2532> of angels <32>_, and <1161> have <2192> (5725) not <3361> charity <26>_, I am become <1096> (5754) [as] sounding <2278> (5723) brass <5475>_, or <2228> a tinkling <214> (5723) cymbal <2950>_.
2And <2532> though <1437> I have <2192> (5725) [the gift of] prophecy <4394>_, and <2532> understand <1492> (5762) all <3956> mysteries <3466>_, and <2532> all <3956> knowledge <1108>_; and <2532> though <1437> I have <2192> (5725) all <3956> faith <4102>_, so <5620> that I could remove <3179> (5721) mountains <3735>_, and <1161> have <2192> (5725) not <3361> charity <26>_, I am <1510> (5748) nothing <3762>_.
3And <2532> though <1437> I bestow <5595> (0) all <3956> my <3450> goods <5224> (5723) to feed <5595> (5661) [the poor], and <2532> though <1437> I give <3860> (5632) my <3450> body <4983> to <2443> be burned <2545> (5703)_, and <1161> have <2192> (5725) not <3361> charity <26>_, it profiteth me <5623> (5743) nothing <3762>_.
4Charity <26> suffereth long <3114> (5719)_, [and] is kind <5541> (5736)_; charity <26> envieth <2206> (5719) not <3756>_; charity <26> vaunteth <4068> (0) not <3756> itself <4068> (5736)_, is <5448> (0) not <3756> puffed up <5448> (5743)_, {vaunteth...: or, is not rash}
5Doth <807> (0) not <3756> behave itself unseemly <807> (5719)_, seeketh <2212> (5719) not <3756> her own <1438>_, is <3947> (0) not <3756> easily provoked <3947> (5743)_, thinketh <3049> (5736) no <3756> evil <2556>_;
6Rejoiceth <5463> (5719) not <3756> in <1909> iniquity <93>_, but <1161> rejoiceth <4796> (5719) in the truth <225>_; {in the truth: or, with the truth}
7Beareth <4722> (5719) all things <3956>_, believeth <4100> (5719) all things <3956>_, hopeth <1679> (5719) all things <3956>_, endureth <5278> (5719) all things <3956>_.
8Charity <26> never <3763> faileth <1601> (5719)_: but <1161> whether <1535> [there be] prophecies <4394>_, they shall fail <2673> (5701)_; whether <1535> [there be] tongues <1100>_, they shall cease <3973> (5695)_; whether <1535> [there be] knowledge <1108>_, it shall vanish away <2673> (5701)_. {fail: Gr. vanish away}
9For <1063> we know <1097> (5719) in <1537> part <3313>_, and <2532> we prophesy <4395> (5719) in <1537> part <3313>_.
10But <1161> when <3752> that which is perfect <5046> is come <2064> (5632)_, then <5119> that which is in <1537> part <3313> shall be done away <2673> (5701)_. {done away: Gr. vanish away}
11When <3753> I was <2252> (5713) a child <3516>_, I spake <2980> (5707) as <5613> a child <3516>_, I understood <5426> (5707) as <5613> a child <3516>_, I thought <3049> (5711) as <5613> a child <3516>_: but <1161> when <3753> I became <1096> (5754) a man <435>_, I put away <2673> (5758) childish things <3516>_. {thought: or, reasoned} {put away: Gr. vanish away}
12For <1063> now <737> we see <991> (5719) through <1223> a glass <2072>_, darkly <1722> <135>_; but <1161> then <5119> face <4383> to <4314> face <4383>_: now <737> I know <1097> (5719) in <1537> part <3313>_; but <1161> then <5119> shall I know <1921> (5695) even as <2531> also <2532> I am known <1921> (5681)_. {darkly: Gr. in a riddle}
13And <1161> now <3570> abideth <3306> (5719) faith <4102>_, hope <1680>_, charity <26>_, these <5023> three <5140>_; but <1161> the greatest <3187> of these <5130> [is] charity <26>_.
