1 Though|strong="G1437" I speak|strong="G2980" with the tongues|strong="G1100" of men|strong="G0444" and|strong="G2532" of angels|strong="G0032", and|strong="G1161" have|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3361" charity|strong="G0026", I am become|strong="G1096" as sounding|strong="G2278" brass|strong="G5475", or|strong="G2228" a tinkling|strong="G0214" cymbal|strong="G2950".
2 And|strong="G2532" though|strong="G1437" I have|strong="G2192" the gift of prophecy|strong="G4394", and|strong="G2532" understand|strong="G1492" all|strong="G3956" mysteries|strong="G3466", and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" knowledge|strong="G1108"; and|strong="G2532" though|strong="G1437" I have|strong="G2192" all|strong="G3956" faith|strong="G4102", so that|strong="G5620" I could remove|strong="G3179" mountains|strong="G3735", and|strong="G1161" have|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3361" charity|strong="G0026", I am|strong="G1510" nothing|strong="G3762".
3 And|strong="G2532" though|strong="G1437" I bestow|strong="G5595" all|strong="G3956" my|strong="G3450" goods|strong="G5224" to feed|strong="G5595" the poor, and|strong="G2532" though|strong="G1437" I give|strong="G3860" my|strong="G3450" body|strong="G4983" to|strong="G2443" be burned|strong="G2545", and|strong="G1161" have|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3361" charity|strong="G0026", it profiteth me|strong="G5623" nothing|strong="G3762".
4 Charity|strong="G0026" suffereth long|strong="G3114", and is kind|strong="G5541"; charity|strong="G0026" envieth|strong="G2206" not|strong="G3756"; charity|strong="G0026" vaunteth|strong="G4068" not|strong="G3756" itself|strong="G4068", is|strong="G5448" not|strong="G3756" puffed up|strong="G5448",
5 Doth not|strong="G3756" behave itself|strong="G0807" unseemly|strong="G0807", seeketh|strong="G2212" not|strong="G3756" her own|strong="G1438", is|strong="G3947" not|strong="G3756" easily provoked|strong="G3947", thinketh|strong="G3049" no|strong="G3756" evil|strong="G2556";
6 Rejoiceth|strong="G5463" not|strong="G3756" in|strong="G1909" iniquity|strong="G0093", but|strong="G1161" rejoiceth in|strong="G4796" the truth|strong="G0225";
7 Beareth|strong="G4722" all things|strong="G3956", believeth|strong="G4100" all things|strong="G3956", hopeth|strong="G1679" all things|strong="G3956", endureth|strong="G5278" all things|strong="G3956".
8 Charity|strong="G0026" never|strong="G3763" faileth|strong="G1601": but|strong="G1161" whether|strong="G1535" there be prophecies|strong="G4394", they shall fail|strong="G2673"; whether|strong="G1535" there be tongues|strong="G1100", they shall cease|strong="G3973"; whether|strong="G1535" there be knowledge|strong="G1108", it shall vanish away|strong="G2673".
9 For|strong="G1063" we know|strong="G1097" in|strong="G1537" part|strong="G3313", and|strong="G2532" we prophesy|strong="G4395" in|strong="G1537" part|strong="G3313".
10 But|strong="G1161" when|strong="G3752" that which is|strong="G3588" perfect|strong="G5046" is come|strong="G2064", then|strong="G5119" that which is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1537" part|strong="G3313" shall be done away|strong="G2673".
11 When|strong="G3753" I was|strong="G2252" a child|strong="G3516", I spake|strong="G2980" as|strong="G5613" a child|strong="G3516", I understood|strong="G5426" as|strong="G5613" a child|strong="G3516", I thought|strong="G3049" as|strong="G5613" a child|strong="G3516": but|strong="G1161" when|strong="G3753" I became|strong="G1096" a man|strong="G0435", I put away|strong="G2673" childish|strong="G3516" things|strong="G3588".
12 For|strong="G1063" now|strong="G0737" we see|strong="G0991" through|strong="G1223" a glass|strong="G2072", darkly|strong="G0135"; but|strong="G1161" then|strong="G5119" face|strong="G4383" to|strong="G4314" face|strong="G4383": now|strong="G0737" I know|strong="G1097" in|strong="G1537" part|strong="G3313"; but|strong="G1161" then|strong="G5119" shall I know|strong="G1921" even as|strong="G2531" also|strong="G2532" I am known|strong="G1921".
13 And|strong="G1161" now|strong="G3570" abideth|strong="G3306" faith|strong="G4102", hope|strong="G1680", charity|strong="G0026", these|strong="G5023" three|strong="G5140"; but|strong="G1161" the greatest|strong="G3187" of these|strong="G5130" is charity|strong="G0026".
