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 我若能说万人的方言，并天使的话语，却没有爱，我就成了鸣的锣，响的钹一般。

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 我若有先知讲道之能，也明白各样的奥秘，各样的知识，而且有全备的信，叫我能够移山，却没有爱，我就算不得什么。

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 我若将所有的周济穷人，又舍己身叫人焚烧，却没有爱，仍然与我无益。

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；爱是不自夸，不张狂，

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

5 不做害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，

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

6 不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；

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

7 凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。

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 爱是永不止息。先知讲道之能终必归于无有；说方言之能终必停止；知识也终必归于无有。

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

9 我们现在所知道的有限，先知所讲的也有限，

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

10 等那完全的来到，这有限的必归于无有了。

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 我作孩子的时候，话语像孩子，心思像孩子，意念像孩子，既成了人，就把孩子的事丢弃了。

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 我们如今仿佛对着镜子观看，模糊不清 ，到那时就要面对面了。我如今所知道的有限，到那时就全知道，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，有望，有爱这三样，其中最大的是爱。
