1 If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, but do not have love, I have become sounding bronze, or a clanging cymbal. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:1
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:2
3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:3
4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud, NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:4
5 does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not irritable, does not keep a record of wrongs; NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:5
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:6
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:7
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are tongues, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:8
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:9
10 but when that which is complete has come, that which is partial will be done away with. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:10
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become an adult, I have put away childish things. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:11
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:12
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love. NHEB — 1Corinthians 13:13
