Charity

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.

But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also to see you;

We are bound to give thanks to God always to you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith growth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;

But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:

above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.

Patience

and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name's sake, and hast not grown weary.

The last

But I have this against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.

Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:

But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
