My
highlighted verses: 1 Corinthians
13:1 ¶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.
2 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.
3 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.
4
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth
not itself, is not puffed up,
5
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth
not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth
all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 ¶Charity
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.
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 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.
12
For 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.
13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity.
For 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.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
