1If I speak human or angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.2And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.3If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

8Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.8Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside.
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
10but when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end.10but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside.
11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways.
12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, as I am fully known.12For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.
13Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love--but the greatest of these is love.13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
