| Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. | Doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. |
| And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. | But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love. |
