SCRIPTURE OF THE MONTH
1 Corinthians 13
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
2And
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, but have not charity, I am nothing.
3And
though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my
body to be burned, but have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up;
5doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8Charity
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.
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11When
I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought
as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12For
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.
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
