1 If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal. 2 And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing. 3 And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing. 4 Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. 5 Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. 6 Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth. 7 Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7, Catholic Public Domain Version.
