Verse
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
KJV
King James Version
If
I speak in
the tongues of men and of angels, but
have not love
, I am only
a
ringing
gong
or a clanging
cymbal.
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.
If
I have the gift of prophecy and can
fathom
all mysteries and all knowledge ,
and if
I have absolute
faith so as
to
move
mountains, but
have not love
, I am nothing.
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.
If
I give
all I
possess
to the poor and exult
in
the
surrender
of
my body, but
have not love
, I
gain
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.
Love
is
patient
, love
is kind .
It
does
not envy,
it
does
not boast
, it
is not proud.
Charity
suffereth
long
, and
is kind ;
charity
envieth
not ;
charity
vaunteth
not itself
, is not puffed
up,
It
is
not rude
, it
is
not self-seeking
, it
is not easily angered
, it
keeps
no account
of
wrongs.
Doth
not behave
itself
unseemly
, seeketh
not her
own
, is not easily provoked
, thinketh
no evil;
Love
takes
no
pleasure
in evil
, but rejoices
in the truth .
Rejoiceth
not
in iniquity
, but rejoiceth
in the truth ;
It
bears
all things, believes
all things, hopes
all things, endures
all things.
Beareth
all things, believeth
all things, hopeth
all things, endureth
all things.
Love
never fails.
But where
there are
prophecies, they will
cease
; where
there are
tongues, they will
be
restrained
; where
there is
knowledge, it will
be
dismissed
.
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
.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part ,
For we know in part ,
and we prophesy in part .
but when the
perfect comes
, the
partial
passes
away.
But when that
which
is
perfect is
come
, then
that
which
is
in
part
shall
be
done
away.
When I was a child, I talked
like
a child, I thought
like
a child, I reasoned
like
a child .
When I became a man, I set
aside
childish ways
.
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
.
Now we see but
a
dim
reflection
as
in
a mirror
; then we
shall
see
face to face .
Now I know in part; then I
shall know fully,
even as I am fully
known.
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 these
three
remain:
faith, hope, and
love
; but the greatest of these is love
.
And now abideth
faith, hope, charity,
these
three
; but the greatest of these is charity
.
