Previous chapter Index Next chapter

1 If I speak with the languages ​​of men and angels, but have no love, then I am a ringing copper or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all the secrets, and have all knowledge and all faith, so that I can change mountains and I do not have love, I am nothing.
3 And if I give all my possessions and give my body for burning, and have no love, there's no use for me.

4 Love is long-suffering, merciful, love does not envy, love does not boast, it does not take pride,
5 Do not be rude, do not seek your own, do not get irritated, do not think evil,
6th He does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7th Everything covers, believes everything, believes everything, tolerates everything.

8 Love never fails, though prophecies will cease, and tongues will be silent, and knowledge will be abolished.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
10 When the perfect comes, then that, in part, will cease.
eleven When I was an infant, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; But as a man, he left the infant.
12 Now we see, as it were, through a [dim] glass, wonderingly, at the same time face to face; Now I know in part, and then I will know, just as I am known.
13 And now there are these three: faith, hope, love; But the love of them is greater.
