1 Corinthians 13:1-15

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
But have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
And if I have a faith that can move mountains,
But have not love,
I am noting.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,
But have not love,
I gain nothing.

Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud.
It is not rude,      
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
Always trusts,
Always hopes,
Always perseveres.

Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies,
They will cease;
Where there are tongues,
They will be stilled;
Where there is knowledge,
It will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
But when perfection comes,
The imperfect disappears.
When I was a child,
I talked like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;
Then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part;
Then I shall know fully,
Even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain:
Faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.



哥林多前书 13 章 1-13 节

爱

假如我能说万人之方言和天使的话语，
却没有爱，
我就成了鸣的锣，响的钹一般。
假如我有先知之能，明白所有的奥秘和知识，
假如我的信念能让我移山，
却没有爱，
我就算不得什么。
假如我将所有的周济穷人并舍己焚身，
却没有爱，
这依然与我无益。

爱是恒久忍耐，
爱是仁慈，
爱不会嫉妒，
爱不会自夸，
爱不会张狂，
爱不会自傲，
爱不求自利，
爱不轻易发怒，
爱不计算人之恶，
爱不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理。
凡事包容，
凡事信任，
凡事企盼，
凡事坚持。
