1 Corinthians 13

1If I speakG2980 with the tonguesG1100 of menG444 and of angelsG32, but have not loveG26, I am becomeG1096 sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2And if I have the gift of prophecyG4394, and know all mysteriesG3466 and all knowledgeG1108; and if I have all faithG4102, so as to remove mountainsG3735, but have not loveG26, I amG1510 nothing. 3And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my bodyG4983 to be burnedG2545, but have not loveG26, it profiteth me nothing. 4LoveG26 suffereth long, and is kind; loveG26 envieth not; loveG26 vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its ownG1438, is not provoked, taketh not account of evilG2556; 6rejoiceth not in unrighteousnessG93, but rejoiceth with the truthG225; 7beareth all thingsG3956, believeth all thingsG3956, hopeth all thingsG3956, endureth all thingsG3956. 8LoveG26 neverG3763 faileth: but whether there be propheciesG4394, they shall be done awayG2673; whether there be tonguesG1100, they shall ceaseG3973; whether there be knowledgeG1108, it shall be done awayG2673. 9For we knowG1097 in partG3313, and we prophesyG4395 in partG3313; 10but whenG3752 that which is perfectG5046 is comeG2064, that which is in partG3313 shall be done awayG2673. 11WhenG3753 I wasG1510 a childG3516, I spake as a childG3516, I felt as a childG3516, I thought as a childG3516: now that I amG1510 becomeG1096 a manG435, I have put awayG2673 childish things. 12For nowG1161 we seeG991 in a mirror, darkly; but then faceG4383 to faceG4383: nowG1161 I knowG1097 in partG3313; but then shall I knowG1097 fullyG1921 evenG2532 as alsoG2532 I was fullyG1921 knownG1097. 13But nowG1161 abideth faithG4102, hopeG1680, loveG26, these threeG5140; and the greatestG3173 of these is loveG26.
