The term "charity" kinda misses the mark here. Yeah, it's in the KJV (King James), but I like the more recent translations that replace "charity" with "love". (And in passing, I have to admit I adore this whole passage: it warms my totally secular, atheist heart. I just wish more people who call themselves Christians would pay attention to it. --A quixotic but noble task: convincing Christians to actually live by the teachings of their Savior and his disciples...)
