| 1st-Corinthians 13:1 | If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, 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 have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have 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 | If I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have 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 is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, | 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 | doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; | 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 | doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; | It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true; |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:7 | bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. | Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things. |
| 1st-Corinthians 13:8 | Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. | 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 we know in part, and we prophesy in part; | 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 that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. | 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 spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. | 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 now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also 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 | But now remain faith, hope, and love: these three. The greatest of these is love. | But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. |
