¹ If I speak human or angelic languages
but do not have love,^(a)
I am a sounding gong^(b) or a clanging cymbal.
² If I have the gift of prophecy^(c)
and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith
so that I can move mountains^(d)
but do not have love, I am nothing.
³ And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I give my body in order to boast^[a]
but do not have love, I gain nothing.
⁴ Love is patient,^(e) love is kind.
Love does not envy,^(f)
is not boastful, is not conceited,^(g)
5 does not act improperly,
is not selfish,^(h) is not provoked,⁽ⁱ⁾
and does not keep a record of wrongs.
⁶ Love finds no joy in unrighteousness
but rejoices in the truth.^(j)
7 It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures^(k) all things.

⁸ Love never ends.^(l)
But as for prophecies,
they will come to an end;
as for languages, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will come to an end.
⁹ For we know in part,
and we prophesy in part.
¹⁰ But when the perfect comes,
the partial will come to an end.
¹¹ When I was a child,
I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put aside childish things.
¹² For now we see indistinctly,^[b] as in a mirror,^[c]
but then face to face.^(m)
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully,⁽ⁿ⁾
as I am fully known.^(o)
13 Now these three remain:
faith, hope,^(p) and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
