| 1 | If perhaps I would speak in the languages of men and of Messengers, but I do not have love, I have become brass sounding or a cymbal clanging. |
| 2 | And if I have the gift of interpretation of prophecy, and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if perhaps I have all the faith so as to remove mountains, but I do not have love, I am naught. |
| 3 | And if perhaps I employ all my possessions in feeding others, and if I would hand over my body in order that I may boast, but I do not have love, I am due nothing. |
| 4 | Love has patience, is beneficial, love is not jealous, love does not vaunt itself, is not inflated, |
| 5 | does not behave disgracefully, seeks not things for itself, is not provoked, does not consider evil, |
| 6 | does not rejoice upon injustice, but rejoices with the truth; |
| 7 | contains all, trusts all, expects all, endures all. |
| 8 | Love never fails. But whether interpretations of prophecy, they shall be abolished; or languages, they shall be brought to an end; or knowledge, it shall be left unemployed. |
| 9 | By destiny we know, and by destiny we interpret prophecy; |
| 10 | but when the fulfillment would come, that by destiny shall be abolished. |
| 11 | When I was an infant, I spoke as an infant, I thought as an infant, I reasoned as an infant. When I had become a man, I laid aside the things of the infant. |
| 12 | For now we see through a mirror in riddles, but then face to face; now I know by destiny, but then I will recognize just as also I have been recognized. |
| 13 | And now, abide in faith, expectation, love, these three things; but the greater of these is love. |
