And I reveal to you a yet more excellent way. - 13:1 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. - 2 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. - 3 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. - 4 Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. - 5 Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. - 6 Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth. - 7 Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all. - 8 Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed. - 9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part. - 10 But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away. - 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put aside the things of a child. - 12 Now we see through a glass darkly. But then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am known. - 13 But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.

And to what are they similar? - 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, talking with one another, and saying: ‘We sang to you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not weep.’ - 33 For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ - 34 The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a voracious man and a drinker of wine, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’ - 35 But wisdom is justified by all her children.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 7](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/7/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
