Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)

(1 Cor. 13), the rendering in the Authorized Version of the word which properly denotes love, and is frequently so rendered (always so in the Revised Version). It is spoken of as the greatest of the three Christian graces (1 Cor. 12:31-13:13).

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898) & Schaff's Bible Dictionary

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.
