P. 27
Compromise
1 To those that say, today or tomorrow we will
go to such a city, and continue there a year,
and buy and sell, and get rich… you do not
know what tomorrow shall be. For what is your
life? It is even a vapor that appears for a bit of
time and then vanishes away. You ought to say
that if the Lord wills, we shall live and do this
or that. But now you rejoice in your bragging:
all such rejoicing is evil. So to him that knows to
do well, and does it not, to him it is sin.
2 Rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoice in the
truth; bear all things, believe all things, hope all
things, endure all things. Because love never
fails, but where there are prophecies, they will
fail; where there are tongues, they will cease;
where there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
but when that which is perfect has come, then
that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child; I
understood as a child; I thought as a child, but
when I became an adult, I put away childish
