“And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. ”
“If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.”

“And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.”
“And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.”

If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal.
And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing.
And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing.
Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.
Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.
Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
