Bible References

Charity

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

and above all these things, have love, which is a bond of the perfection,

And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also to see you,

We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

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

and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins;

and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;

Patience

and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.

The last

'But I have against thee: That thy first love thou didst leave!

And the righteous layeth hold on his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And -- dumb are they all.

Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

And the path of the righteous is as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him is the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen.
