Though ¹⁴³⁷ I speak ^{2980 , 5725} with the tongues ¹¹⁰⁰ of men ⁴⁴⁴ and ²⁵³² of angels ³² , and ¹¹⁶¹ have ^{2192 , 5725} not ³³⁶¹ charity ²⁶ , I am become ^{1096 , 5754} as sounding ^{2278 , 5723} brass ⁵⁴⁷⁵ , or ²²²⁸ a tinkling ^{214 , 5723} cymbal ²⁹⁵⁰ .

And ²⁵³² though ¹⁴³⁷ I have ^{2192 , 5725} the gift of prophecy ⁴³⁹⁴ , and ²⁵³² understand ^{1492 , 5762} all ³⁹⁵⁶ mysteries ³⁴⁶⁶ , and ²⁵³² all ³⁹⁵⁶ knowledge ¹¹⁰⁸ ; and ²⁵³² though ¹⁴³⁷ I have ^{2192 , 5725} all ³⁹⁵⁶ faith ⁴¹⁰² , so ⁵⁶²⁰ that I could remove ^{3179 , 5721} mountains ³⁷³⁵ , and ¹¹⁶¹ have ^{2192 , 5725} not ³³⁶¹ charity ²⁶ , I am ^{1510 , 5748} nothing ³⁷⁶² .

And ²⁵³² though ¹⁴³⁷ I bestow ^{5595 , 0} all ³⁹⁵⁶ my ³⁴⁵⁰ goods ^{5224 , 5723} to feed ^{5595 , 5661} the poor , and ²⁵³² though ¹⁴³⁷ I give ^{3860 , 5632} my ³⁴⁵⁰ body ⁴⁹⁸³ to ²⁴⁴³ be burned ^{2545 , 5703} , and ¹¹⁶¹ have ^{2192 , 5725} not ³³⁶¹ charity ²⁶ , it profiteth me ^{5623 , 5743} nothing ³⁷⁶² .

Charity ²⁶ suffereth long ^{3114 , 5719} , and is kind ^{5541 , 5736} ; charity ²⁶ envieth ^{2206 , 5719} not ³⁷⁵⁶ ; charity ²⁶ vaunteth ^{4068 , 0} not ³⁷⁵⁶ itself ^{4068 , 5736} , is ^{5448 , 0} not ³⁷⁵⁶ puffed up ^{5448 , 5743} , [vaunteth...: or, is not rash]

Doth ^{807 , 0} not ³⁷⁵⁶ behave itself unseemly ^{807 , 5719} , seeketh ^{2212 , 5719} not ³⁷⁵⁶ her own ¹⁴³⁸ , is ^{3947 , 0} not ³⁷⁵⁶ easily provoked ^{3947 , 5743} , thinketh ^{3049 , 5736} no ³⁷⁵⁶ evil ²⁵⁵⁶ ;

Rejoiceth ^{5463 , 5719} not ³⁷⁵⁶ in ¹⁹⁰⁹ iniquity ⁹³ , but ¹¹⁶¹ rejoiceth ^{4796 , 5719} in the truth ²²⁵ ; [in the truth: or, with the truth]

Beareth ^{4722 , 5719} all things ³⁹⁵⁶ , believeth ^{4100 , 5719} all things ³⁹⁵⁶ , hopeth ^{1679 , 5719} all things ³⁹⁵⁶ , endureth ^{5278 , 5719} all things ³⁹⁵⁶ .

Charity ²⁶ never ³⁷⁶³ faileth ^{1601 , 5719} : but ¹¹⁶¹ whether ¹⁵³⁵ there be prophecies ⁴³⁹⁴ , they shall fail ^{2673 , 5701} ; whether ¹⁵³⁵ there be tongues ¹¹⁰⁰ , they shall cease ^{3973 , 5695} ; whether ¹⁵³⁵ there be knowledge ¹¹⁰⁸ , it shall vanish away ^{2673 , 5701} . [fail: Gr. vanish away]

For ¹⁰⁶³ we know ^{1097 , 5719} in ¹⁵³⁷ part ³³¹³ , and ²⁵³² we prophesy ^{4395 , 5719} in ¹⁵³⁷ part ³³¹³ .

But ¹¹⁶¹ when ³⁷⁵² that which is perfect ⁵⁰⁴⁶ is come ^{2064 , 5632} , then ⁵¹¹⁹ that which is in ¹⁵³⁷ part ³³¹³ shall be done away ^{2673 , 5701} . [done away: Gr. vanish away]

When ³⁷⁵³ I was ^{2252 , 5713} a child ³⁵¹⁶ , I spake ^{2980 , 5707} as ⁵⁶¹³ a child ³⁵¹⁶ , I understood ^{5426 , 5707} as ⁵⁶¹³ a child ³⁵¹⁶ , I thought ^{3049 , 5711} as ⁵⁶¹³ a child ³⁵¹⁶ : but ¹¹⁶¹ when ³⁷⁵³ I became ^{1096 , 5754} a man ⁴³⁵ , I put away ^{2673 , 5758} childish things ³⁵¹⁶ . [thought: or, reasoned] [put away: Gr. vanish away]

For ¹⁰⁶³ now ⁷³⁷ we see ^{991 , 5719} through ¹²²³ a glass ²⁰⁷² , darkly ^{1722 , 135} ; but ¹¹⁶¹ then ⁵¹¹⁹ face ⁴³⁸³ to ⁴³¹⁴ face ⁴³⁸³ : now ⁷³⁷ I know ^{1097 , 5719} in ¹⁵³⁷ part ³³¹³ ; but ¹¹⁶¹ then ⁵¹¹⁹ shall I know ^{1921 , 5695} even as ²⁵³¹ also ²⁵³² I am known ^{1921 , 5681} . [darkly: Gr. in a riddle]
