| 1st-Corinthians 13:1 | If I can speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but am destitute of Love, I have but become a loud-sounding trumpet or a clanging cymbal. | If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:2 | If I possess the gift of prophecy and am versed in all mysteries and all knowledge, and have such absolute faith that I can remove mountains, but am destitute of Love, I am nothing. | And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:3 | And if I distribute all my possessions to the poor, and give up my body to be burned, but am destitute of Love, it profits me nothing. | And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:4 | Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited. | Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride; |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:5 | She does not behave unbecomingly, nor seek to aggrandize herself, nor blaze out in passionate anger, nor brood over wrongs. | Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil; |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:6 | She finds no pleasure in injustice done to others, but joyfully sides with the truth. | It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true; |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:7 | She knows how to be silent. She is full of trust, full of hope, full of patient endurance. | Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:8 | Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if there are languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be brought to an end. | Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:9 | For our knowledge is imperfect, and so is our prophesying; | For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true: |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:10 | but when the perfect state of things is come, all that is imperfect will be brought to an end. | But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:11 | When I was a child, I talked like a child, felt like a child, reasoned like a child: when I became a man, I put from me childish ways. | When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:12 | For the present we see things as if in a mirror, and are puzzled; but then we shall see them face to face. For the present the knowledge I gain is imperfect; but then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. | For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:13 | And so there remain Faith, Hope, Love these three; and of these the greatest is Love. | But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. |
