Página 209 - And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity it, profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long and is kind: charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.
