| 1 | If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal. | If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. | If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. | |
| 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 do not have love, I am nothing. | And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. | If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. | |
| 3 | If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. | If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. | If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. | |
| 4 | Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud, | Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant | Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. | |
| 5 | does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs; | or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; | It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. | |
| 6 | does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; | it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. | Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. | |
| 7 | bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. | Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. | It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. | |
| 8 | Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. | Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. | Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. | |
| 9 | For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; | For we know in part and we prophesy in part, | For we know in part and we prophesy in part, | |
| 10 | but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with. | but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. | but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. | |
| 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 an adult, I have put away childish things. | When 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 gave up childish ways. | When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. | |
| 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 in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. | For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. | |
| 13 | But now faith, hope, and love remain--these three. The greatest of these is love. | So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. | And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. | |
