| [1]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. |
[1]If with every language human I shall speak and with angelic and love not shall be in me shall be I clanging brass or a cymbal that gives noise |
| [2]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. |
[2]And if there will be in me prophecy and I shall know mysteries all of them and all knowledge and if there will be in me all faith so that mountains I may remove and love there is not in me not I would be anything |
| [3]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. |
[3]And if I should feed everything that is to me to the poor and if I should hand over my body to burn up and love not shall be in me anything not gain I |
| [4]Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, |
[4]Love long is of its spirit and sweet love not envies love not is upset and not is puffed up |
| [5]Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; |
[5]And not commits what is shameful neither seeks its own neither is provoked neither entertains evil |
| [6]Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; |
[6]Not rejoices in evil but rejoices in the truth |
| [7]Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. |
[7]Every thing endures everything believes everything hopes everything bears |
| [8]Charity never faileth: but whether there are prophecies, they shall fail; whether there are languages, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away. |
[8]Love ever not fails prophesies for shall cease and tongues shall be silenced and knowledge shall be nothing |
| [9]For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. |
[9]A little it is for of much we know and a little of much we prophesy |
| [10]But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. |
[10]When but will come perfection then shall be nothing that thing that partial was |
| [11]When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. |
[11]When a child I was as a child speaking I was and as a child led I was and as a child thinking I was when I became but a man I ceased these things childish |
| [12]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. |
[12]Now as in a mirror we see in an allegory then but face in front of face now know I little of much then but I shall know as when I am known |
| [13]And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. |
[13]These things there are for three that continue faith and hope and love that which is greatest but of these is love |
