简体中文
1 我若能说万人的方言,并天使的话语却没有爱,我就成了鸣的锣,响的钹一般。
2 我若有先知讲道之能,也明白各样的奥秘,各样的知识。而且有全备的信,叫我能够移山,却没有爱,我就算不得什么。
3 我若将所有的周济穷人,又舍己身叫人焚烧,却没有爱,仍然与我无益。
4 爱是恒久忍耐,又有恩慈。爱是不嫉妒。爱是不自夸。不张狂。
5 不作害羞的事。不求自己的益处。不轻易发怒。不计算人的恶。
6 不喜欢不义。只喜欢真理。
7 凡事包容。凡事相信。凡事盼望。凡事忍耐。
8 爱是永不止息。先知讲道之能,终必归于无有。说方言之能,终必停止,知识也终必归于无有。
9 我们现在所知道的有限,先知所讲的也有限。
10 等那完全的来到,这有限的必归于无有了。
11 我作孩子的时候,话语像孩子,心思像孩子,意念像孩子。既成了人,就把孩子的事丢弃了。
12 我们如今仿佛对着镜子观看,模糊不清(模糊不清原文作如同猜谜)。到那时,就要面对面了。我如今所知道的有限。到那时就全知道,如同主知道我一样。
13 如今常存的有信,有望,有爱,这三样,其中最大的是爱。
King James Version
Chapter 13
13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
