4 Charity suffers long [and] is benign; charity envies not; charity does [nothing] without due reason, is not puffed up,5 is not injurious, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil,6 rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8 Charity is never lost, but prophecies shall come to an end, tongues shall cease, and knowledge shall come to an end.
