Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 13

1 εαν ταισ γλωσσαισ των ανθρωπων λαλω και των αγγελων αγαπην δε μη εχω γεγονα χαλκοσ ηχων η κυμβαλον αλαλαζον

If in the tongues of men I shall speak and of angels, love however not may have, I have become a brass sounding or a cymbal clanging.

2 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

And if I shall have prophecy and understand the mysteries all and all the knowledge, And if I shall have all the faith so as mountains to remove, love however not may have, no [thing] I am.

3 και εαν ψωμισω παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου και εαν παραδω το σωμα μου ινα καυθησωμαι αγαπην δε μη εχω ουδεν ωφελουμαι

Even if Even if I shall give away all the possessions of mine, And if I shall deliver up the body of mine that (I may boast, *N+K+o) love however not may have, no [thing] I am profited.

4 η αγαπη μακροθυμει χρηστευεται η αγαπη ου ζηλοι η αγαπη ου περπερευεται ου φυσιουται

Love is patient, is kind, love not is envious, love not is boastful, not is puffed up,

5 ουκ ασχημονει ου ζητει τα εαυτησ ου παροξυνεται ου λογιζεται το κακον

not acts unbecomingly, not seeks the [things] of its own, not is easily provoked, not it keeps account of wrongs,

6 ου χαιρει επι τη αδικια συγχαιρει δε τη αληθεια

not delights at unrighteousness, rejoices however in the truth,

7 παντα στεγει παντα πιστευει παντα ελπιζει παντα υπομενει

All things it bears, all things believes, all things hopes, all things endures.

8 η αγαπη ουδεποτε εκπιπτει ειτε δε προφητειαι καταργηθησονται ειτε γλωσσαι παυσονται ειτε γνωσισ καταργηθησεται

Love never (falls. *N+kO) if however [there are] prophesies, they will be abated; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge it will be abated.

9 εκ μερουσ δε γινωσκομεν και εκ μερουσ προφητευομεν

In part (for *NK+o) we know and in part we prophesy;

10 οταν δε ελθη το τελειον τοτε το εκ μερουσ καταργηθησεται

when however may come the perfect, (then *K) the in part will be done away.

11 οτε ημην νηπιοσ ωσ νηπιοσ ελαλουν ωσ νηπιοσ εφρονουν ωσ νηπιοσ ελογιζομην οτε δε γεγονα ανηρ κατηργηκα τα του νηπιου

When I was a child, I was speaking like a child, I was thinking like a child, I was reasoning like a child; when (now *k) I became a man, I have done away with the [things] of the child.

12 βλεπομεν γαρ αρτι δι εσοπτρου εν αινιγματι τοτε δε προσωπον προσ προσωπον αρτι γινωσκω εκ μερουσ τοτε δε επιγνωσομαι καθωσ και επεγνωσθην

We see for presently through a glass in obscurity, then however face to face; presently I know in part, then however I will know fully even as also I have been fully known.

13 νυνι δε μενει πιστισ ελπισ αγαπη τα τρια ταυτα μειζων δε τουτων η αγαπη

Now however abide faith, hope, love, three these; [the] greatest however of these [is] love.
