Or, as we might put it in contempory language: “Without empathy, ‘Transformational Government’ is nothing but a clunking great fist.”

YOu all beat me to it. I prefer the modernised English of the NIV – ok, so not lovely ye olde texte, but darned easier for me to understand. THe next few verses also pretty pertinent (even solving social and economic exclusion needs right motives). I use http://www.biblegateway.com for searching for stuff.

Thus: (1 Corinthians 13) 1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

Thanks Terri – yes that’s the one.

Thanks for the link Jason. I embedded it because of dreaded “Expression Engine long-link breaks IE layout” effect.

“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.” I Corinthians 13/1

Better luck with a Google News hunt for “noisy symbols”, or “banging nongs”, perhaps. There are a few about. It’s hard to speak the truth with love, when your lying tongue is programmed to hiss “45 minutes, 45 minutes.”

Tragic really. How much worse can it get? The Telegraph article is here.
