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 leeps 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 evils . 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 chilsish 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.

 

爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；

爱是不嫉妒；

爱是不自夸、不张狂。不做害羞的事；不求自己的益处；不轻易发怒；不计算人的恶。

不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理。凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。

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。

我们现在所知道的有限，先知所讲的也有限。等那完全的到来，着有限的于无有了。

我做孩子的时候，话语像个孩子，心思像个孩子，意念像个孩子；既成了人，就把孩子的事丢弃了。

我们如今仿佛对着镜子观看，模糊不清。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。

如今常存的有信、有望、有爱——这三样，其中最大的是爱。

 

 

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 nothing .

 

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrende 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 leeps 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 evils . 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 chilsish 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.

 

假若我能说万人的的方言，并天使的话，却没有爱。我就成了鸣的锣、响的钹一般。

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。

我若将所有的周济穷人，又舍己叫人焚烧，却没有爱，仍然于我无益。

爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸、不张狂。不做害羞的事；不求自己的益处；不轻易发怒；不计算人的恶。

不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理。凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。

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。

我们现在所知道的有限，先知所讲的也有限。等那完全的到来，着有限的于无有了。

我们如今仿佛对着镜子观看，模糊不清。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。
