Пътят на любовта

13 Ако говоря с човешки и ангелски езици, а любов нямам, аз съм станал мед, която звънти, или кимвал, който дрънка.

(A)И ако имам пророческа дарба, зная всички тайни и всяко знание, и ако имам пълна вяра, така че и планини да премествам, а любов нямам, нищо не съм.

(B)И ако раздам целия си имот за прехрана на сиромасите, и ако предам тялото си на изгаряне, а любов нямам, никак не ме ползва.

(C)Любовта дълго търпи и е милостива, любовта не завижда, любовта не се превъзнася, не се гордее,

(D)не безобразничи, не търси своето, не се раздразнява, не държи сметка за зло,

(E)не се радва на неправдата, а се радва заедно с истината,

(F)всичко премълчава, на всичко хваща вяра, на всичко се надява, всичко търпи.

Любовта никога не отпада; другите дарби, обаче, пророчества ли са, ще се прекратят; езици ли са, ще престанат; знание ли е, ще се прекрати.

(G)Защото отчасти знаем и отчасти пророкуваме;

10 но когато дойде съвършеното, това, което е частично, ще се прекрати.

11 Когато бях дете, като дете говорех, като дете чувствах, като дете разсъждавах; откак станах мъж, напуснал съм детинското.

12 (H)Защото сега виждаме нещата неясно, като в огледало, а тогава ще ги видим лице в лице; сега познавам отчасти, а тогава ще позная напълно, както и съм бил напълно познат.

13 И така, остават тези трите: вяра, надежда и любов; но най-голяма от тях е любовта.

13 If I speak in the tongues[a](A) of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy(B) and can fathom all mysteries(C) and all knowledge,(D) and if I have a faith(E) that can move mountains,(F) but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor(G) and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b](H) but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient,(I) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.(J) It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,(K) it is not easily angered,(L) it keeps no record of wrongs.(M) Love does not delight in evil(N) but rejoices with the truth.(O) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.(P)

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,(Q) they will cease; where there are tongues,(R) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part(S) and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes,(T) what is in part disappears. 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 put the ways of childhood(U) behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;(V) then we shall see face to face.(W) Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.(X)

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.(Y) But the greatest of these is love.(Z)

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

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

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
