1 I|strong="G1437" may|strong="G2532" speak|strong="G2980" in|strong="G2532" different languages|strong="G1100", whether|strong="G2532" human|strong="G0444" or|strong="G2228" even|strong="G2532" of|strong="G0026" angels|strong="G0032". But|strong="G1161" if|strong="G1437" I|strong="G1437" don’t|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" love|strong="G0026", I|strong="G1437" am|strong="G2192" only|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2192" noisy|strong="G2278" bell or|strong="G2228" a|strong="G2192" ringing cymbal|strong="G2950".
2 I|strong="G1437" may|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" the|strong="G3956" gift of|strong="G0026" prophecy|strong="G4394", I|strong="G1437" may|strong="G2532" understand|strong="G1492" all|strong="G3956" secrets and|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1492" everything|strong="G3956" there|strong="G1510" is|strong="G1510" to|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1492", and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1437" may|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" faith|strong="G4102" so|strong="G2532" great|strong="G3956" that|strong="G5620" I|strong="G1437" can move mountains|strong="G3735". But|strong="G1161" even|strong="G2532" with|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" this|strong="G3588", if|strong="G1437" I|strong="G1437" don’t|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" love|strong="G0026", I|strong="G1437" am|strong="G1510" nothing|strong="G3762".
3 I|strong="G1473" may|strong="G2532" give|strong="G5595" away everything|strong="G3956" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2192" to|strong="G2443" help|strong="G5623" others|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" may|strong="G2532" even|strong="G2532" give|strong="G5595" my|strong="G3956" body|strong="G4983" as|strong="G2532" an|strong="G2192" offering to|strong="G2443" be|strong="G2532" burned|strong="G2545". But|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1473" gain nothing|strong="G3762" by|strong="G2532" doing|strong="G5623" all|strong="G3956" this|strong="G3588" if|strong="G1437" I|strong="G1473" don’t|strong="G3361" have|strong="G2192" love|strong="G0026".
4 Love|strong="G0026" is|strong="G3588" patient|strong="G3114" and|strong="G0026" kind|strong="G5541". Love|strong="G0026" is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" jealous|strong="G2206", it does not|strong="G3756" brag|strong="G4068", and|strong="G0026" it is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" proud|strong="G5448".
5 Love is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" rude|strong="G0807", it|strong="G1438" is|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" selfish, and|strong="G2556" it|strong="G1438" cannot|strong="G3756" be|strong="G3756" made|strong="G2212" angry easily. Love does|strong="G2212" not|strong="G3756" remember wrongs done against|strong="G3756" it|strong="G1438".
6 Love is|strong="G3588" never|strong="G3756" happy when|strong="G1161" others|strong="G3588" do|strong="G3756" wrong|strong="G0093", but|strong="G1161" it|strong="G1161" is|strong="G3588" always happy with|strong="G1909" the|strong="G3588" truth|strong="G0225".
7 Love never gives up on|strong="G1679" people|strong="G3956". It never stops trusting, never loses hope|strong="G1679", and|strong="G3956" never quits.
8 Love|strong="G0026" will|strong="G0026" never|strong="G3763" end|strong="G2673". But|strong="G1161" all|strong="G3588" those|strong="G3588" gifts will|strong="G0026" come to|strong="G1161" an|strong="G1161" end|strong="G2673"—even|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3588" gift of|strong="G0026" prophecy|strong="G4394", the|strong="G3588" gift of|strong="G0026" speaking in|strong="G1161" different kinds of|strong="G0026" languages|strong="G1100", and|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3588" gift of|strong="G0026" knowledge|strong="G1108".
9 These will|strong="G2532" all|strong="G1063" end because|strong="G1063" this|strong="G2532" knowledge and|strong="G2532" these prophecies we|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" are|strong="G2532" not|strong="G2532" complete.
10 But|strong="G1161" when|strong="G3752" perfection comes|strong="G2064", the|strong="G3588" things|strong="G3588" that|strong="G1161" are|strong="G3588" not complete|strong="G5046" will|strong="G2064" end|strong="G2673".
11 When|strong="G3753" I|strong="G3753" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G5613" child|strong="G3516", I|strong="G3753" talked|strong="G2980" like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" child|strong="G3516", I|strong="G3753" thought like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" child|strong="G3516", and|strong="G0435" I|strong="G3753" made|strong="G1096" plans like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" child|strong="G3516". When|strong="G3753" I|strong="G3753" became|strong="G1096" a|strong="G5613" man|strong="G0435", I|strong="G3753" stopped those|strong="G3588" childish|strong="G3516" ways.
12 It|strong="G5119" is|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G2532" with|strong="G1722" us|strong="G1537". Now|strong="G1161" we|strong="G2532" see|strong="G0991" God|strong="G4314" as|strong="G2531" if|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2532" are|strong="G2532" looking|strong="G0991" at|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" reflection in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" mirror|strong="G2072". But|strong="G1161" then|strong="G2532", in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G2532" future, we|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" see|strong="G0991" him|strong="G2532" right|strong="G0737" before|strong="G4314" our|strong="G2532" eyes. Now|strong="G1161" I|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1097" only|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" part|strong="G3313", but|strong="G1161" at|strong="G1722" that|strong="G1097" time|strong="G5119" I|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1097" fully|strong="G1921", as|strong="G2531" God|strong="G4314" has|strong="G2532" known|strong="G1097" me|strong="G1223".
13 So|strong="G1161" these|strong="G3778" three|strong="G5140" things|strong="G3778" continue|strong="G3306": faith|strong="G4102", hope|strong="G1680", and|strong="G1161" love|strong="G0026". And|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3588" greatest|strong="G3173" of|strong="G0026" these|strong="G3778" is|strong="G3778" love|strong="G0026".
