Observer Strikes Back with Biblical Citation

The Register is reprinting The Observer's response, without their permission:


"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not intolerance, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

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 intolerance, 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 intolerance, it profiteth me nothing.

Intolerance is patient, intolerance is kind; intolerance envieth not; intolerance vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things....

And now abideth faith, hope, and intolerance, these three; but the greatest of these is intolerance."


1 Corinthians 13, King James translation
