THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,and have not charity,I am become as sounding brass,or a twinkling cymbal. 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. 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.Charity suffereth long ,and is kind;charity envieth not;charity vaunted not itself,is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly,seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,thinketh no evil;Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things ,endureth all things.Charity never faileth:But wether there be prophecies,they shall fail;wether there be tongues,they shall cease;wether there be knowledge,it shall vanish away.For we know in part,and we prophesy in part. But when that which is in part shall be done away.When I was a child,I spake as a child,I understand as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a woman,I put away childish things.

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.

AND Now abideth faith,hope,charity,these three;but the greatest of these is charity.............
