Charity

Although with the tongues of men, I be speaking, and of messengers, and have not, love, I have become resounding brass, or a clanging cymbal;

And, over all these things, love, which is a uniting-bond of completeness;

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

We are bound, to be giving thanks, unto God, continually, concerning you, brethren, even as it is, meet; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all one to another aboundeth,

Now, the end of the charge, is love - out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, -

Before all things, keeping, fervent, your love, among yourselves, because, love, covereth a multitude of sins;

And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love.

Patience

And thou hast, endurance, and hast borne for the sake of my name, and hast not grown weary.

The last

Nevertheless, I have against thee, that, thy first love, thou hast left.

That the righteous may hold on his way, and, the clean of hands, increase in strength.

Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

But, the path of the righteous, is as the light of dawn, - going on and brightening, unto meridian day.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.

But be growing in the favour and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: - unto whom be the glory, both now and unto a day that abideth.
