Be Blessed. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.

i sincerely applogize for my horrible spelling error. Extreme lazyness on my part. The word I meant to use was the Tanack, The Hebrew Bible. The first five books of the Tanack is Moses' book called the Torah. The Tanack was translated into Greek under the tutilage of 6 Hebrew leads from each tribe. Hence it is called the Septuagent (the work of 70, actually 72 but it is easier to refer to it as 70. The first five books of the Septuagent, the books of Moses, is called called the Pentateuch. Pentatch is pronounced Pint (short i) dotted a took with the emphasis on the first syllable. Please accept my appologies for my bad spelling. especially since all I had to do to check was roll my wheelchair over to my dining table and look at my copy of the Tanack.
