KJV: 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.

Geneva: Though I speake with the tongues of men and Angels, and haue not loue, I am as sounding brasse, or a tinkling cymbal.

KJV: 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.

Geneva: And though I had the gift of prophecie, and knewe all secrets and all knowledge, yea, if I had all faith, so that I could remooue mountaines and had not loue, I were nothing.

KJV: 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.

Geneva: And though I feede the poore with all my goods, and though I giue my body, that I be burned, and haue not loue, it profiteth me nothing.

KJV: Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Geneva: Loue suffreth long: it is bountifull: loue enuieth not: loue doeth not boast it selfe: it is not puffed vp:

KJV: Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

KJV: Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Geneva: It reioyceth not in iniquitie, but reioyceth in the trueth:

KJV: Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Geneva: It suffreth all things: it beleeueth all things: it hopeth all things: it endureth all things.

KJV: 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.

Geneva: Loue doeth neuer fall away, though that prophecyings be abolished, or the tongues cease, or knowledge vanish away.

KJV: For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

Geneva: For we knowe in part, and we prophecie in part.

KJV: But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

Geneva: But when that which is perfect, is come, then that which is in part, shalbe abolished.

KJV: 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.

Geneva: When I was a childe, I spake as a childe, I vnderstoode as a childe, I thought as a childe: but when I became a man, I put away childish thinges.

KJV: 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.

Geneva: For nowe we see through a glasse darkely: but then shall wee see face to face. Nowe I know in part: but then shall I know euen as I am knowen.

KJV: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Geneva: And nowe abideth faith, hope and loue, euen these three: but the chiefest of these is loue.
