Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version
If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak , and have not love , I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling ;
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.
and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets , and all the knowledge , and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and 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 .
and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love , I am profited 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.
The love is long -suffering , it is kind , the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,
Charity suffereth long, and is kind ; charity envieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things , is not provoked, doth not impute evil ,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil ;
rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness , and rejoiceth with the truth;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity , but rejoiceth in the truth;
all things it beareth , all it believeth , all it hopeth , all it endureth.
Beareth all things, believeth all things , hopeth all things, endureth all things .
The love doth never fail; and whether ` there be ' prophecies, they shall become useless ; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;
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 in part we know, and in part we prophecy;
For we know in part , and we prophesy in part .
and when that which is perfect may come, then that which ` is ' in part shall become useless .
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away .
When I was a babe , as a babe I was speaking , as a babe I was thinking , as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;
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 .
for we see now through a mirror obscurely , and then face to face ; now I know in part , and then I shall fully know , as also I was 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 there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these ` is ' love .
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity .
