1 Corinthians 13:3 Douay-Rheims

And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Clement of Alexandria

c. A.D. 150–215 Patristic

And do you imagine that I am thinking of a supper that is to be done away with? "For if "it is said, "I bestow all my goods, and have not love, I am nothing.".
But it is not from the same cause, or with the same object; not were they to give their whole body. "For they have not love "according to the apostle.
