(31) But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way.
I Corinthians
13
(1) THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
I Corinthians
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 charity, I am nothing.
I Corinthians
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 charity, it profiteth me nothing.
I Corinthians
13
(4) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
I Corinthians
13
(5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
I Corinthians
13
(6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
I Corinthians
13
(7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
I Corinthians
13
(8) Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
I Corinthians
13
(9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
I Corinthians
13
(10) But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
I Corinthians
13
(11) When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
I Corinthians
13
(12) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
I Corinthians
13
(13) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
I Corinthians
14
(1) FOLLOW AFTER charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
I Corinthians
14
(2) For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
I Corinthians
14
(3) But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
I Corinthians
14
(4) He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
I Corinthians
14
(5) I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
I Corinthians
14
(6) Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
