1 Corinthians 12:31
| ← 1 Corinthians 12:30 | 1 Corinthians 12:31 (KJV) | 1 Corinthians 13:1 → |
|---|---|---|
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
|
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
|
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.
