1 Corinthians 13
|
|
| 13:1
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. |
BOM: 2 Nephi 31:13, 31:14,
32:2
|
| 13:2
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. |
BOM: 2 Nephi 26:30
|
| 13:3
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. |
|
| 13:4
Charity suffereth long,
and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed
up, |
(13:4-6) "Charity suffereth lon.g"
Some nice thoughts about love (or charity as in the KJV).
|
| 13:5
Doth not behave itself
unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; |
|
| 13:6
Rejoiceth not in
iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; |
|
| 13:7
Beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. |
"Believeth all things"
Should we believe everything?
|
| 13:8
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. |
"Whether there be prophecies, they shall fail."
Paul prophesies that all prophecies will fail. But since this itself is a prophecy, it also will
fail (if the prophecy is correct), making it a false prophecy.
|
| 13:9
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. |
|
| 13:10
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall
be done away. |
|
| 13:11
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. |
"When I became a man, I put away childish things.
Is it good to be childish?
|
| 13:12
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. |
|
| 13:13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity.
|
BOM: Alma 7:24
