Chapter 13
King James Bible, new version.
| 13:1 | Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. |
| 13:2 | And 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 love, I am nothing. |
| 13:3 | And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing. |
| 13:4 | Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, |
| 13:5 | Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; |
| 13:6 | Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; |
| 13:7 | Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. |
| 13:8 | Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there are knowledge, it will vanish away. |
| 13:9 | For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. |
| 13:10 | But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. |
| 13:11 | When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things. |
| 13:12 | For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. |
| 13:13 | And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. |
