4 Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;5 Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;6 It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;7 Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

4 Kjærligheten er langmodig, er velvillig; kjærligheten bærer ikke avind, kjærligheten brammer ikke, opblåses ikke,5 den gjør intet usømmelig, søker ikke sitt eget, blir ikke bitter, gjemmer ikke på det onde;6 den gleder sig ikke over urettferdighet, men gleder sig ved sannhet;7 den utholder alt, tror alt, håper alt, tåler alt.
