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.If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, 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.If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures 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.Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
