1Co 13:1 Though1437 I speak2980 with the3588 tongues1100 of men444 and2532 of angels,32 and1161 have2192 not3361 charity,26 I am become1096as sounding2278 brass,5475 or2228 a tinkling214 cymbal.2950
1Co 13:2 And2532 though1437 I have2192thegiftof prophecy,4394 and2532 understand1492 all3956 mysteries,3466 and2532 all3956 knowledge;1108 and2532 though1437 I have2192 all3956 faith,4102 so that5620 I could remove3179 mountains,3735 and1161 have2192 not3361 charity,26 I am1510 nothing.3762
1Co 13:3 And2532 though1437 I bestow all my goods to feed5595, 3956, 3450, 5224thepoor, and2532 though1437 I give3860 my3450 body4983 to2443 be burned,2545 and2532 have2192 not3361 charity,26 it profiteth5623 me nothing.3762

Thou you count yourself religious it will avail you not if you can't love the weak, the poor and the unlovely- are we not commanded to :
Gal 6:2 Bear941 ye one another's240 burdens,922 and2532 so3779 fulfill378 the3588 law3551 of Christ.5547
Go and learn the meaning of this:
Hos 6:6 For3588 I desired2654 mercy,2617 and not3808 sacrifice;2077 and the knowledge1847 of God430 more than burnt offerings.4480, 5930
God takes more pleasure in a merciful loving heart than all the works a man can muster- to know God is to love for God is Love

Hi Violet- I use E-Sword for all my bible research and study- that particular bible translation is keyed to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible- the numbers refer to the definitions in either Greek or Hebrew- I should have used a different bible (there are about 50 translations) and you would have not had to wade thru the numbers- sorry
