⁸ The love doth never fail; and whether `there be' prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

¹³ in the saying `new,' He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old `is' nigh disappearing.

⁶ and Paul having laid on them `his' hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,

¹³ and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these `is' love.

²⁸ And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;

²⁹ `are' all apostles? `are' all prophets? `are' all teachers? `are' all powers?

³⁰ have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

⁴ and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

⁶ for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

³⁹ so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid;

¹⁰ and when that which is perfect may come, then that which `is' in part shall become useless.

¹ If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;

² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

¹⁰ and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another `divers' kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:

³² and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'
