< 1 Corinthians 13 >

1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
εαν ταις γλωσσαις των ανθρωπων λαλω και των αγγελων αγαπην δε μη εχω γεγονα χαλκος ηχων η κυμβαλον αλαλαζον
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
και εαν εχω προφητειαν και ειδω τα μυστηρια παντα και πασαν την γνωσιν και εαν εχω πασαν την πιστιν ωστε ορη μεθιστανειν αγαπην δε μη εχω ουθεν ειμι
3 If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
και εαν ψωμισω παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου και εαν παραδω το σωμα μου ινα καυθησωμαι αγαπην δε μη εχω ουδεν ωφελουμαι
4 Love is patient and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
η αγαπη μακροθυμει χρηστευεται η αγαπη ου ζηλοι η αγαπη ου περπερευεται ου φυσιουται
5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
ουκ ασχημονει ου ζητει τα εαυτης ου παροξυνεται ου λογιζεται το κακον
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
ου χαιρει επι τη αδικια συγχαιρει δε τη αληθεια
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
παντα στεγει παντα πιστευει παντα ελπιζει παντα υπομενει
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
η αγαπη ουδεποτε εκπιπτει ειτε δε προφητειαι καταργηθησονται ειτε γλωσσαι παυσονται ειτε γνωσις καταργηθησεται
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
εκ μερους γαρ γινωσκομεν και εκ μερους προφητευομεν
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
οταν δε ελθη το τελειον τοτε το εκ μερους καταργηθησεται
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.
οτε ημην νηπιος ως νηπιος ελαλουν ως νηπιος εφρονουν ως νηπιος ελογιζομην οτε δε γεγονα ανηρ κατηργηκα τα του νηπιου
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
βλεπομεν γαρ αρτι δι εσοπτρου εν αινιγματι τοτε δε προσωπον προς προσωπον αρτι γινωσκω εκ μερους τοτε δε επιγνωσομαι καθως και επεγνωσθην
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
νυνι δε μενει πιστις ελπις αγαπη τα τρια ταυτα μειζων δε τουτων η αγαπη
