If{G1437} I speak{G2980} with the tongues{G1100} of men{G444} and{G2532} of angels,{G32} but{G1161} have{G2192} not{G3361} love,{G26} I am become{G1096} sounding{G2278} brass,{G5475} or{G2228} a clanging{G214} cymbal.{G2950}

And{G2532} if{G1437} I have{G2192} [the gift of] prophecy,{G4394} and{G2532} know{G1492} all{G3956} mysteries{G3466} and{G2532} all{G3956} knowledge;{G1108} and{G2532} if{G1437} I have{G2192} all{G3956} faith,{G4102} so as{G5620} to remove{G3179} mountains,{G3735} but{G1161} have{G2192} not{G3361} love,{G26} I am{G1510} nothing.{G3762}

And{G2532} if{G1437} I bestow{G5595} all{G3956} my{G3450} goods{G5224} to feed{G5595} [the poor], and{G2532} if{G1437} I give{G3860} my{G3450} body{G4983} to{G2443} be burned,{G2545} but{G1161} have{G2192} not{G3361} love,{G26} it profiteth{G5623} me nothing.{G3762}

Love{G26} suffereth long,{G3114} [and] is kind;{G5541} love{G26} envieth{G2206} not;{G3756} love{G26} vaunteth{G4068} not{G3756} itself,{G4068} is{G5448} not{G3756} puffed up,{G5448}

doth not{G3756} behave itself{G807} unseemly,{G807} seeketh{G2212} not{G3756} its own,{G1438} is{G3947} not{G3756} provoked,{G3947} taketh not{G3756} account{G3049} of evil;{G2556}

rejoiceth{G5463} not{G3756} in{G1909} unrighteousness,{G93} but{G1161} rejoiceth{G4796} with the truth;{G225}

beareth{G4722} all things,{G3956} believeth{G4100} all things,{G3956} hopeth{G1679} all things,{G3956} endureth{G5278} all things.{G3956}

Love{G26} never{G3763} faileth:{G1601} but{G1161} whether{G1535} [there be] prophecies,{G4394} they shall be done away;{G2673} whether{G1535} [there be] tongues,{G1100} they shall cease;{G3973} whether{G1535} [there be] knowledge,{G1108} it shall be done away.{G2673}

For{G1063} we know{G1097} in{G1537} part,{G3313} and{G2532} we prophesy{G4395} in{G1537} part;{G3313}

but{G1161} when{G3752} that which is{G3588} perfect{G5046} is come,{G2064} that{G5119} which is{G3588} in{G1537} part{G3313} shall be done away.{G2673}

When{G3753} I was{G2252} a child,{G3516} I spake{G2980} as{G5613} a child,{G3516} I felt{G5426} as{G5613} a child,{G3516} I thought{G3049} as{G5613} a child:{G3516} now{G1161} that{G3753} I am become{G1096} a man,{G435} I have put away{G2673} childish{G3516} things.{G3588}

For{G1063} now{G737} we see{G991} in{G1223} a mirror,{G1722} darkly;{G135} but{G1161} then{G5119} face{G4383} to{G4314} face:{G4383} now{G737} I know{G1097} in{G1537} part;{G3313} but{G1161} then{G5119} shall I know{G1921} fully even as{G2531} also{G2532} I was fully known.{G1921}

But{G1161} now{G3570} abideth{G3306} faith,{G4102} hope,{G1680} love,{G26} these{G5023} three;{G5140} and{G1161} the greatest{G3187} of these{G5130} is love.{G26}
