1 If with the tongues of the men I speak and of the messengers, love but I have, I have become brass sounding or a cymbal noisy.
2 And if I have prophecy, and I know the secrets all and all the knowledge, and id I have all the faith, so that mountains to remove, love but not have, nothing I am.
3 And if I bestow all the possessions of me, and if I should give the body of me so that it should be burned, love but not have, nothing I am profited.
4 The love suffers long, is gentle; the love not envies; the love not is boastful, not is puffed up,
5 not acts unbecomingly, not seeks the things of herself, not is provoked to anger, not imputes the evil,
6 not rejoices in the iniquity, rejoices with but the truth,
7 all things covers, all things believes, all things hopes, all things endures;
8 the love not at any time falls off; whether but prophecies, they will be done away whether tongues, they will cease; whether knowledge, it will be done away.
9 From parts for we know, and from parts we prophesy;
10 when but may come the prefect, then that from parts will be done a way.
11 When I was a babe, as babe I spoke, as a babe I thought, as babe reasoned; since but I have become a man, I have put away the things of the babe.
12 We see for now through a glass in an enigma, then but face to face; now I know from parts, then but I shall know fully even as and I fully known.
13 Now but abides faith, hope, love, the three these; greater but of these the love.
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and do not have love, I have become like loud sounding brass, or a clashing cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not jealous. Love does not brag and is not arrogant proud.
5 Love does not act indecently. It is not selfish. It is not provoked and does not take into account a wrong suffered.
6 Love does not rejoice with evil, but rejoices with the truth.
7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
8 Love never fails. Where there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10 When the perfect comes, the partial imperfectincomplete will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, and reason like a child. When I became an adult I did away with childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, and then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
13 Faith, hope and love remain. These three! The greatest of these is love!
