King James 2000

1 Corinthians 13:3-13 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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 profits me nothing.

4. Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,

5. Does not behave itself rudely, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, keeps no record of evil;

6. Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

7. Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8. Love never fails: 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 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.

12. For now we see in a mirror dimly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

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