13 Si linguis hominum loquar, et angelorum, charitatem autem non habeam, factus sum velut as sonans, aut 2 cymbalum tinniens. Et si habuero prophetiam, et noverim mysteria omnia, et omnem scientiam: et si habuero omnem fidem ita ut montes transferam, chari3 tatem autem non habuero, nihil sum. Et si distribuero in cibos pauperum omnes facultates meas, et si tradidero corpus meum ita ut ardeam, charitatem autem non habuero, nihil mihi prodest.

4 Charitas patiens est, benigna est: Charitas non 5 æmulatur, non agit perperam, non inflatur, non est ambitiosa, non quærit quæ sua sunt, non irritatur, non 6 cogitat malum, non gaudet super iniquitate, congaudet 7 autem veritati: omnia suffert, omnia credit, omnia 8 sperat, omnia sustinet. Charitas numquam excidit: sive prophetiæ evacuabuntur, sive linguæ cessabunt, 9 sive scientia destruetur; ex parte enim cognoscimus, 10 et ex parte prophetamus; cum autem venerit quod II perfectum est, evacuabitur quod ex parte est. Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus, cogitabam ut parvulus. Quando autem 12 factus sum vir, evacuavi quæ erant parvuli. Videmus nunc per speculum in ænigmate: tunc autem facie ad faciem. Nunc cognosco ex parte: tunc autem cog13 noscam sicut et cognitus sum. Nunc autem manent, fides, spes, charitas: tria hæc; major autem horum est charitas.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of Angels, and have not charity: I am become

as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And if I should have prophecy, and knew all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And if I should distribute all my goods to be meat for the poor, and if I should deliver my body so that I burn, and have not charity, it doth profit me nothing.

Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. For in part we know, and in part we prophesy. 10 But when that shall that is in part. When I was a little one, I one, I thought as a little one. But when I was made a man, I did away the things that belonged to a little one. 12 We see now by a glass in a dark sort: but then face to face. Now I know in part: but then I shall know as also I am known. 13 And now there remain, faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greater of these is charity.

Let women hold their peace in the Churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the Law

saith. But if they learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home. For it is a foul thing for a woman to speak in the

Church. Or did the word of God proceed
