2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowing, [or science], and if I have all faith, so that I move hills from their place, [or from one place to another], and I have not charity, I am nought.
3 And if I part all my goods into the meats of poor men, and if I betake my body, so that I burn, and if I have not charity, it profiteth to me nothing.
4 Charity is patient, it is benign; charity envieth not, it doeth not wickedly, it is not blown [with pride],
5 it is not covetous, [or ambitious, or covetous of worships], it seeketh not those things that be his own [or her own], it is not stirred to wrath, it thinketh not evil,
6 it joyeth not on [or in] wicked-ness, but it joyeth together to [or with] truth;
7 it suffereth all things, it believeth all things, it hopeth all things, it sustaineth all things.
8 Charity falleth never down, whether prophecies shall be voided, either languages shall cease, either science shall be destroyed.
9 For a part we know, and a part we prophesy;
10 but when that shall come that is perfect, that thing that is of part shall be voided.
11 When I was a little child, I spake as a little child, I understood as a little child, I thought as a little child; but when I was made a man, I avoided/I voided those things that were of a little child.
12 And we see now by a mirror in darkness, but then face to face; now I know of part, but then I shall know, as I am known.
13 And now dwell faith, hope, charity, these three; but the most of these is charity.
