1 Corinthians 13

Berean Standard Bible tier 2Smith–Van Dyck tier 2
BSB

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.

SVD

1 إِنْ كُنْتُ أَتَكَلَّمُ بِأَلْسِنَةِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ، فَقَدْ صِرْتُ نُحَاسًا يَطِنُّ أَوْ صَنْجًا يَرِنُّ.

BSB

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.

SVD

2 وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِي نُبُوَّةٌ، وَأَعْلَمُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَسْرَارِ وَكُلَّ عِلْمٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لِي كُلُّ ٱلْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى أَنْقُلَ ٱلْجِبَالَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ، فَلَسْتُ شَيْئًا.

BSB

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.

SVD

3 وَإِنْ أَطْعَمْتُ كُلَّ أَمْوَالِي، وَإِنْ سَلَّمْتُ جَسَدِي حَتَّى أَحْتَرِقَ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ لِي مَحَبَّةٌ، فَلَا أَنْتَفِعُ شَيْئًا.

BSB

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

SVD

4 ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ تَتَأَنَّى وَتَرْفُقُ. ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ لَا تَحْسِدُ. ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ لَا تَتَفَاخَرُ، وَلَا تَنْتَفِخُ،

BSB

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

SVD

5 وَلَا تُقَبِّحُ، وَلَا تَطْلُبُ مَا لِنَفْسِهَا، وَلَا تَحْتَدُّ، وَلَا تَظُنُّ ٱلسُّؤَ،

BSB

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

SVD

6 وَلَا تَفْرَحُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ بَلْ تَفْرَحُ بِٱلْحَقِّ،

BSB

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

SVD

7 وَتَحْتَمِلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَتُصَدِّقُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَتَرْجُو كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَتَصْبِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

BSB

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.

SVD

8 اَلْمَحَبَّةُ لَا تَسْقُطُ أَبَدًا. وَأَمَّا ٱلنُّبُوَّاتُ فَسَتُبْطَلُ، وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةُ فَسَتَنْتَهِي، وَٱلْعِلْمُ فَسَيُبْطَلُ.

BSB

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

SVD

9 لِأَنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ بَعْضَ ٱلْعِلْمِ وَنَتَنَبَّأُ بَعْضَ ٱلتَّنَبُّؤِ.

BSB

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

SVD

10 وَلَكِنْ مَتَى جَاءَ ٱلْكَامِلُ فَحِينَئِذٍ يُبْطَلُ مَا هُوَ بَعْضٌ.

BSB

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.

SVD

11 لَمَّا كُنْتُ طِفْلًا كَطِفْلٍ كُنْتُ أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَكَطِفْلٍ كُنْتُ أَفْطَنُ، وَكَطِفْلٍ كُنْتُ أَفْتَكِرُ. وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا صِرْتُ رَجُلًا أَبْطَلْتُ مَا لِلطِّفْلِ.

BSB

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.

SVD

12 فَإِنَّنَا نَنْظُرُ ٱلْآنَ فِي مِرْآةٍ، فِي لُغْزٍ، لَكِنْ حِينَئِذٍ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ. ٱلْآنَ أَعْرِفُ بَعْضَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ، لَكِنْ حِينَئِذٍ سَأَعْرِفُ كَمَا عُرِفْتُ.

BSB

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

SVD

13 أَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَيَثْبُتُ: ٱلْإِيمَانُ وَٱلرَّجَاءُ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةُ، هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ وَلَكِنَّ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ.
