Summary

This quote suggests that a person's true strength can be measured by how they react to the success of others. If someone willingly celebrates and supports others' achievements without feeling envious or threatened, it demonstrates their secure and confident nature. On the other hand, if someone becomes consumed by envy or resentment towards those who succeed, it reveals a weakness or insecurity within themselves. Therefore, the quote highlights the importance of humility, self-assurance, and the ability to have genuine happiness for others' accomplishments as signs of internal strength.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and ha

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not money, I am become as a 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 money, 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 money, it profiteth me nothing. Money suffereth long, and is kind; money envieth not; money vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave 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, money, these three; but the greatest of these is money. I Corinthians xiii (adapted)
