1 Corinthians 13:2
| ← 1 Corinthians 13:1 | 1 Corinthians 13:2 (KJV) | 1 Corinthians 13:3 → |
|---|---|---|
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 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.
