1 Corinthians 13
1 If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal.
εαν ταις γλωσσαις των ανθρωπων λαλω και των αγγελων αγαπην δε μη εχω γεγονα χαλκος ηχων η κυμβαλον αλαλαζον
2 And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then 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 {VAR1: ουθεν } {VAR2: ουδεν } ειμι
3 And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing.
και εαν ψωμισω παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου και εαν παραδω το σωμα μου ινα καυθησωμαι αγαπην δε μη εχω ουδεν ωφελουμαι
4 Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.
η αγαπη μακροθυμει χρηστευεται η αγαπη ου ζηλοι η αγαπη ου περπερευεται ου φυσιουται
5 Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.
ουκ ασχημονει ου ζητει τα εαυτης ου παροξυνεται ου λογιζεται το κακον
6 Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
ου χαιρει επι τη αδικια συγχαιρει δε τη αληθεια
7 Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all.
παντα στεγει παντα πιστευει παντα ελπιζει παντα υπομενει
8 Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed.
η αγαπη ουδεποτε εκπιπτει ειτε δε προφητειαι καταργηθησονται ειτε γλωσσαι παυσονται ειτε γνωσις καταργηθησεται
9 For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part.
εκ μερους γαρ γινωσκομεν και εκ μερους προφητευομεν
10 But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away.
οταν δε ελθη το τελειον τοτε το εκ μερους καταργηθησεται
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put aside the things of a child.
οτε ημην νηπιος ως νηπιος ελαλουν ως νηπιος εφρονουν ως νηπιος ελογιζομην οτε δε γεγονα ανηρ κατηργηκα τα του νηπιου
12 Now we see through a glass darkly. But then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am 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 for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.
νυνι δε μενει πιστις ελπις αγαπη τα τρια ταυτα μειζων δε τουτων η αγαπη
