1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become 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 know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove 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 all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me 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.
4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,4Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.
5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,5It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.
6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;6It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.
7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.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 be done away.10but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside.
11When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with 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 in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been 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.
13But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
