I CORINTHIANS 13
V1 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.
V2 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.
V3 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.
V4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.
V5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
V6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
V7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all thing.
V8 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.
V9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
V10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
V11 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.
V12 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.
V13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Hear the Gospel. "How shall they call on him whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14).
Believe. "And without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him" (Hebrews 11:6).
Repent of past sins. "The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent" (Acts 17:30).
Confess Jesus as Lord. "Behold here is water; What doth hinder me to be baptized ? And Philip said, if thou believeth with all thy heart thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" (Acts 8:36-37).
Be baptized for the remission of sins. "And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38).
Live a Christian life. "Ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
