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.Select 1 Corinthians 13:2
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.Select 1 Corinthians 13:3

7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.Select 1 Corinthians 13:7

13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.Select 1 Corinthians 13:13
