And above G1909 all G3956 these G5125 things put on charity, G26 which G3748 is the bond G4886 of perfection. G5047

But above G4253 all G3956 things, my brothers, G80 swear G3660 not, neither G3383 by heaven, G3772 neither G3383 by the earth, G1093 neither G3383 by any G5100 other G243 oath: G3727 but let your G5216 yes G3483 be yes; G3483 and your G3588 no, G3756 no; G3756 lest G2443 G3361 you fall G4098 into G5259 condemnation. G5272

Beloved, G27 I wish G2172 above G4012 all G3956 things that you may prosper G2137 and be in health, G5198 even G2531 as your soul G5590 prospers. G2137

Seeing you have purified G48 your G5216 souls G5590 in obeying G5218 the truth G225 through G1223 the Spirit G4151 to unfeigned G505 love G5360 of the brothers, G5360 see that you love G25 one G240 another G240 with a pure G2513 heart G2588 fervently: G1619

Though G1437 I speak G2980 with the tongues G1100 of men G444 and of angels, G32 and have G2192 not charity, G26 I am become G1096 as sounding G2278 brass, G5475 or G2228 a tinkling G214 cymbal. G2950

And though G1437 I bestow G5595 all G3956 my goods G5224 to feed G5595 the poor, G4434 and though G1437 I give G3860 my body G4983 to be burned, G2545 and have G2192 not charity, G26 it profits G5623 me nothing. G3762

Does not behave G807 itself unseemly, seeks G2212 not her own, G1438 is not easily provoked, G3947 thinks G3049 no G3756 evil; G2556

Bears G4722 all G3956 things, believes G4100 all G3956 things, hopes G1679 all G3956 things, endures G5278 all G3956 things.

For we know G1097 in part, G3313 and we prophesy G4395 in part. G3313

When G3753 I was a child, G3516 I spoke G2980 as a child, G3516 I understood G5426 as a child, G3516 I thought G3049 as a child: G3516 but when G3753 I became G1096 a man, G435 I put G2673 away G2673 childish G3516 things.

And now G3570 stays G3306 faith, G4102 hope, G1680 charity, G26 these G5023 three; G5140 but the greatest G3187 of these G5130 is charity. G26

Follow G1377 after charity, G26 and desire G2206 spiritual G4152 gifts, but rather G3123 that you may prophesy. G4395

And the Lord G2962 make G4121 you to increase G4121 and abound G4052 in love G25 one G240 toward G1519 another, G240 and toward G1519 all G3956 men, even G2532 as we do toward G1519 you:

But as touching G4012 brotherly G5360 love G5360 you need G5532 not that I write G1125 to you: for you yourselves G846 are taught G2312 of God G2312 to love G25 one G240 another. G240

And indeed G1063 you do G4160 it toward G1519 all G3956 the brothers G80 which G3588 are in all G3650 Macedonia: G3109 but we beseech G3870 you, brothers, G80 that you increase G4052 more G3123 and more; G3123

We are bound G3784 to thank G2168 God G2316 always G3842 for you, brothers, G80 as it is meet, G514 because G3754 that your G5216 faith G4102 grows G5232 exceedingly, and the charity G26 of every G1538 one G1520 of you all G3956 toward G1519 each G240 other G240 abounds; G4121

Now G1161 the end G5056 of the commandment G3852 is charity G26 out of a pure G2513 heart, G2588 and of a good G18 conscience, G4893 and of faith G4102 unfeigned: G505

Let brotherly G5360 love G5360 continue. G3306

And to knowledge G1108 temperance; G1466 and to temperance G1466 patience; G5281 and to patience G5281 godliness; G2150

And to godliness G2150 brotherly G5360 kindness; G5360 and to brotherly G5360 kindness G5360 charity. G26

Hatred H8135 stirs H5782 up strifes: H4090 but love H160 covers H3680 all H3605 sins. H6588

A fool's H191 wrath H3708 is presently H3117 known: H3045 but a prudent H6175 man covers H3680 shame. H7036

He that covers H3680 a transgression H6588 seeks H1245 love; H160 but he that repeats H8138 a matter H1697 separates H6504 very friends. H441

He that answers H7725 a matter H1697 before H2962 he hears H8085 it, it is folly H200 and shame H3639 to him.

Bears G4722 all G3956 things, believes G4100 all G3956 things, hopes G1679 all G3956 things, endures G5278 all G3956 things.

Let him know, G1097 that he which converts G1994 the sinner G268 from the error G4106 of his way G3598 shall save G4982 a soul G5590 from death, G2288 and shall hide G2572 a multitude G4128 of sins. G266
