    Lisa, this verse is not talking about that kind of "charity ". The real "hebrew " translation of this verse is "Love ". Without going deep into the hebrew word , verse 4 says "Charity suffereth long ", does that make sense? Is like telling your husband do you charity me? The true meaning here is love. Love suffereth long, Love is kind. Verse 8 says "Charity never fails " is still talking about Love. Now watch verse 3, You could give all your belongings good to the poor that is charity the kind you are describing, the dictionary definition of charity right? but Paul continues... "and I have no Charity " I am nothing. That renders your definition of charity meaningless here. So that verse should be translated and "Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor...if I have no love I am nothing ".
