This is not true. The infinite series


[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty n[/tex]

converges if and only if the sequence of its partial sums converges. The [tex]k[/tex]-th partial sum is

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^kn=\frac{k(k+1)}2[/tex]

but clearly this diverges as [tex]k[/tex] gets arbitrarily large.
