Charity is expressed most often in Christian love. The word, Charity, is used only in the New Testament, and nowhere else in the Bible. In the Revised Version Charity is always translated love. It is Divine love for man. Mortals can show Charity best by, or in the act of loving all men as brothers because he sees them as sons of God.
Charity is the love of Christ which prompted Him to sacrifice Himself for the children of men. And this, Moroni says is the kind of love, or charity, which men must have to inherit a place in the mansions of the Father.
The greatest of these is Charity. "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, 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 charity, 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 charity, it profiteth me nothing.
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity 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, endureth all things.
"Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
"But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
"For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” (I Corinthians 13)
"And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.
"If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
"And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinkest no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—
“But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.” (Moroni 7:43-47)
"Wherefore, there must be faith; and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must be charity.
“And except ye have charity ye can in nowise be saved in the Kingdom of God; neither can ye be saved in the Kingdom of God if ye have not faith; neither can ye if ye have no hope.” (Moroni 10:20-21)
