| | 32) | Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. |
33) | Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. |
|
|
|
| 15) | My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. |
16) | Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. |
|
|
|
| 1) | 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. |
2) | 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. |
3) | 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. |
4) | Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, |
5) | Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; |
6) | Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; |
7) | Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. |
8) | 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. |
9) | For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. |
10) | But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. |
11) | 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. |
12) | 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. |
13) | And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. |
This promise is also in: Conflict, Giving and Generosity, Duty to the Poor, Hope, Fellowship, God, Kindness, Love, Relationships, Wisdom & Discernment, Patience, Pride and Conceit |

|
| 5) | Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. |
6) | Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: |
|
|
|
| 15) | Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. |
