What is Charity?
CHAR'ITY
(from Lat. caritas, Fr. charite). In 1 Cor 13:1 and parallel passages the Saxon word love (to God as well as to man) would better express the sentiment intended. See Love. Charity, in the popular acceptation of the word, is confined to love to suffering men, or almsgiving. See Alms.
