Young's Literal Version » The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians » 13. fejezet
1
If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling;
2
and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;
3
and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.
4
The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,
5
doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,
6
rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;
7
all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.
8
The love doth never fail; and whether `there be' prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;
9
for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;
10
and when that which is perfect may come, then that which `is' in part shall become useless.
11
When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;
12
for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;
13
and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these `is' love.
