1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing 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 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.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.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain 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. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.4Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.5It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.
6Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.6It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.
7It bears 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 where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.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 passes away.10but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside.
11When 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.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.
12Now 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.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.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
