1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak in the “tongues” of people, or even of angels, yet have not love, I have become mere echoing 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 Even though I have the gift of preaching, and fathom all hidden truths and all the depths of knowledge; even though I have such faith as might move mountains, yet have not love, I am nothing!
{VAR1: καν } {VAR2: και εαν } εχω προφητειαν και ειδω τα μυστηρια παντα και πασαν την γνωσιν {VAR1: καν } {VAR2: και εαν } εχω πασαν την πιστιν ωστε ορη {VAR1: μεθιστανειν } {VAR2: μεθισταναι } αγαπην δε μη εχω ουθεν ειμι
3 Even though I dole my substance to the poor, even though I sacrifice my body in order to boast, yet have not love, it avails me nothing!
καν ψωμισω παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου {VAR1: καν } {VAR2: και εαν } παραδω το σωμα μου ινα καυχησωμαι αγαπην δε μη εχω ουδεν ωφελουμαι
4 Love is long-suffering, and kind; love is never envious, never boastful, never conceited, never behaves unbecomingly;
η αγαπη μακροθυμει χρηστευεται η αγαπη ου ζηλοι {VAR2: [η αγαπη] } ου περπερευεται ου φυσιουται
5 love is never self-seeking, never provoked, never reckons up her wrongs;
ουκ ασχημονει ου ζητει τα εαυτης ου παροξυνεται ου λογιζεται το κακον
6 love never rejoices at evil, but rejoices in the triumph of truth;
ου χαιρει επι τη αδικια συγχαιρει δε τη αληθεια
7 love bears with all things, ever trustful, ever hopeful, ever patient.
παντα στεγει παντα πιστευει παντα ελπιζει παντα υπομενει
8 Love never fails. But, whether it be the gift of preaching, it will end; whether it be the gift of “tongues,” it will cease; whether it be knowledge, it, too, will vanish.
η αγαπη ουδεποτε πιπτει ειτε δε προφητειαι καταργηθησονται ειτε γλωσσαι παυσονται ειτε γνωσις καταργηθησεται
9 For our knowledge is incomplete, and our preaching is incomplete,
εκ μερους γαρ γινωσκομεν και εκ μερους προφητευομεν
10 but, when the perfect has come, that which is incomplete will end.
οταν δε ελθη το τελειον το εκ μερους καταργηθησεται
11 When I was a child, I talked as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; now that I am a man, I have done with childish ways.
οτε ημην νηπιος ελαλουν ως νηπιος εφρονουν ως νηπιος ελογιζομην ως νηπιος οτε γεγονα ανηρ κατηργηκα τα του νηπιου
12 As yet we see, in a mirror, dimly, but then – face to face! As yet my knowledge is incomplete, but then I will know in full, as I have been 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 Meanwhile faith, hope, and love endure – these three, but the greatest of these is love.
νυνι δε μενει πιστις ελπις αγαπη τα τρια ταυτα μειζων δε τουτων η αγαπη
