                           If I Have Not Charity


1.   Though I speak with tongues of men, though I speak as angels, If I have not
     charity I am become as nothing. I become as sounding brass, or a tinkling
     cymbal; With the gift of prophecy, still I am as nothing.

2.   Though I know all mysteries, though I have all knowledge, If I have not
     charity I am become as nothing. Though I give all I possess, let my body
     burn; If I have not charity, then I am as nothing.

3.   Charity rejoiceth not in iniquity, But rejoiceth in the truth; believes and
     bears all things; Hopes all things; endures all things; never thinketh evil. If
     I have not charity, then I am as nothing.

4.   Whether there be prophecies, whether there be knowledge, These shall
     likewise pass away, but charity remaineth. Faith and hope and charity, all
     of these abide; But among the three of these, charity is greatest.
