1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.

1 我就算能说人类和天使的各种语言，如果没有爱，也不过是咣咣作响的锣和钹。

2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

2 我就算能做先知讲道，又明白各种奥秘，而且知识渊博，甚至有移开山岭的信心，如果没有爱，也一无是处。

3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.

3 我就算倾家荡产周济穷人，甚至舍己捐躯任人焚烧 ，如果没有爱，也一无所获。

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

4 爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒，不自吹自擂，不骄傲自大，

5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

5 不鲁莽无礼，不自私自利，不轻易动怒，不怀怨记恨，

6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.

6 不喜爱不义，只喜爱真理；

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

7 凡事能包容，凡事有信心，凡事有盼望，凡事能忍耐。

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

8 爱永不止息。然而，先知讲道的恩赐终会过去，说方言的恩赐也会停止，知识也将成为过去。

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

9 我们现在知道的有限，做先知所讲的也有限，

10 but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.

10 等那全备的来到，这有限的事都要被废弃。

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.

11 当我是小孩子的时候，我的思想、言语和推理都像小孩子，长大后，我就把一切幼稚的事丢弃了。

12 Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

12 如今我们好像对着镜子观看影像，模糊不清，但将来会面对面。现在我所知道的有限，但将来会完全知道，如同主知道我一样。

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

13 如今常存的有信、望、爱这三样，其中最伟大的是爱。
