The College Chapter

Thirteenth Chapter of First Corinthians

1.     Though I speak with the
tongues of men and of
angels, and have not love, I
am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

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 love, I am nothing.

3.     And though I bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and
though I give my body to be
burned and have not love, it
profiteth me nothing.

4.     Love suffereth long, and is
kind, love envieth not; love
vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up.

5.     Doth not behave itself
unseemly, seeketh not her
own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil.

6.     Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but
rejoiceth in the truth.

7.     Beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things.

8.     Love 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.

9.     For we know in part, and
we prophesy in part.

10.  But when that which is
perfect is come then that
which is in part shall be
done away.

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 older,
I put away childish things.

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.

13.  And now abideth faith,
hope, love, these three; but
the greatest of these is love.
