| | | | 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, Duty to the Poor, Hope, Fellowship, God, Kindness, Love, Relationships, Children, Wisdom & Discernment, Patience, Pride and Conceit |

| | 44) | And all that believed were together, and had all things common; |
| 45) | And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. |
| 46) | And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, |
| 47) | Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. |

| | 21) | He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. |

| | 1) | Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. |
| 2) | Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. |

| | 7) | If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: |
| 8) | But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. |
| 9) | Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. |
| 10) | Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. |
