1 Corinthians 13:3

---

← 1 Corinthians 13:2	1 Corinthians 13:3 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 13:4 →
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 vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
