3And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

3And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

3and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

3And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

8Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away.

8Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.

8The love doth never fail; and whether <FI>there be<Fi> prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part:

9for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;

9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;

10but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

10but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.

10and when that which is perfect may come, then that which <FI>is<Fi> in part shall become useless.

11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.

11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child.

11When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.

12For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.
