1 Corinthians 13:7
“Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.”
1 Corinthians 13:7, King James Version (KJV)
“bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.”
World English Bible (WEB)
1 Corinthians 13 (KJV)
- 1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and 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, and 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, and 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 spake 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.
