Which of the following passages best support the statement "charity provides protection against adversity"?:

(Both passages are from King James version)

Psalm 23:
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

The passage from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 best supports the statement "charity provides protection against adversity." In this passage, it describes the qualities of charity, which include being patient, kind, not envious, not boastful, not proud, not behaving inappropriately, not seeking one's own interests, not being easily provoked, and not thinking evil thoughts. It also mentions that charity does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. These qualities of charity can be understood as providing protection against adversity because they promote resilience, compassion, and a positive outlook in the face of challenges.
