1	Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον	If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.	Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2	καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω οὐθέν εἰμι	If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.	And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3	καὶ ἐὰν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα [καυχήσωμαι] ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι	If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.	And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4	Ἡ ἀγάπη μακροθυμεῖ χρηστεύεται ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ ζηλοῖ ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ περπερεύεται οὐ φυσιοῦται	Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.	Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5	οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ ἑαυτῆς οὐ παροξύνεται οὐ λογίζεται τὸ κακόν	It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.	Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6	οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ συνχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ	Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.	Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7	πάντα στέγει πάντα πιστεύει πάντα ἐλπίζει πάντα ὑπομένει	It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.	Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8	Ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε πίπτει εἴτε δὲ προφητεῖαι καταργηθήσονται εἴτε γλῶσσαι παύσονται εἴτε γνῶσις καταργηθήσεται	Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.	Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9	ἐκ μέρους γὰρ γινώσκομεν καὶ ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν	For we know in part and we prophesy in part,	For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10	ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ τὸ τέλειον τὸ ἐκ μέρους καταργηθήσεται	but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.	But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11	Ὅτε ἤμην νήπιος ἐλάλουν ὡς νήπιος ἐφρόνουν ὡς νήπιος ἐλογιζόμην ὡς νήπιος ὅτε γέγονα ἀνήρ κατήργηκα τὰ τοῦ νηπίου	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 set aside childish ways.	When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12	βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι’ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην	Now we see but a dim 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.	For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13	Νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις ἐλπίς ἀγάπη τὰ τρία ταῦτα μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη	And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.	And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
