(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

1 Though I speake with the tongues of men & of Angels, and haue not charity, I am become as sounding brasse or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I haue the gift of prophesie, and vnderstand all mysteries and all knowledge: and though I haue all faith, so that I could remooue mountaines, and haue no charitie, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestowe all my goods to feede the poore, and though I giue my body to bee burned, and haue not charitie, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charitie suffereth long, and is kinde: charitie enuieth not: charitie vaunteth not it selfe, is not puffed vp,

5 Doeth not behaue it selfe vnseemly, seeketh not her owne, is not easily prouoked, thinketh no euill,

6 Reioyceth not in iniquitie, but reioyceth in the trueth:

7 Beareth all things, beleeueth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charitie neuer faileth: but whether there be prophesies, they shall faile; whether there bee tongues, they shall cease; whether there bee knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesie in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part, shalbe done away.

11 When I was a childe, I spake as a childe, I vnderstood as a childe, I thought as a childe: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glasse, darkely: but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know euen as also I am knowen.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charitie, these three, but the greatest of these is charitie.

John Smith's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment about verse 11 on 5/14/2013, 7:35am...

This means when I was a babe in Christ It was obvious by my actions but now that I am a mature Christian and understand the word of God I act like it. My actions should show my maturity. This can fit both the natural person and the spiritual.

 


Larry Kinsler's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment about verse 10 on 5/04/2013, 6:50am...

There is absolutely nothing in the context of 1 Corinthians 13 that suggests " that which is perfect" is the completed New Testament. This is an arbitrary conclusion from man that continues to be believed by virtually everyone in the Church today; tradition over the Truth. The context does suggest that this will be when we are fully saved and have our glorified bodies. At this time we will be with Christ. We certainly will not need the gifts mentioned in the previous chapter at this time. While we will not need to practice these spiritual gifts, we will continue to carry love in our hearts, hence the emphasis on " charity " in this chapter. This is the only logical interpretation that will fit the context here.

 


Tommy Watts's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment about verse 8 on 5/03/2013, 3:13pm...

Though I am unable to obey all That God commands and I did all I could do to stop God' will for me . He overcame my actions , He overcame & brought me into His will & His purpose for my life. His love never fails. God says nothing can stop me.

 


Lockard's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment about verse 1 on 3/17/2013, 3:08pm...

@Kim,
First of all, if a person has a mean spirit, he or she is not a Christian. There is no such thing as a mean spirited Christian. I think the verse means no matter how holy we say or think we are we are nothing, if we don't have the true love of God in our heart.

 


Esther's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment about verse 4 on 3/15/2013, 9:01am...

Love is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. Since God is love and all these describe His nature, we can be sure that love also posses all these. Psalm 103:8

 


R. D. Mattock's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment on 3/06/2013, 7:02am...

He that loves not knows not God, for God is love. Perfect love casts out all fear. This is my commandment that you love one another, that your joy may be full. By this shall they know that you are my disciples because you have loved one another. He that hates his brother, the love of God does not abide in him.

 


Richard's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment about verse 4 on 2/03/2013, 9:57am...

Indeed God is Love.

 


John gaffney's 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 comment about verse 12 on 1/27/2013, 12:18am...

This is clearly, (no pun intended) a reference to a window. One does not look through a mirror. A window with glaze, or smoked, perhaps stained. The writer is not referring to a reflection, but a view to the "kingdom of Heaven is all around you... yet you see it not". Perception is no longer a duality."I shall see as I am seen".
