1 Corinthians 13:3

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Even if I gave away everything I owned to help people who are struggling, even if I literally sacrificed my life for others, but I didn't have real love in my heart — it would all be completely meaningless.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Good deeds without genuine love behind them don't actually count for anything.
