1 कुरिन्थियों 13
Hindi Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
प्रेम महान है
13 यदि मैं मनुष्यों और स्वर्गदूतों की भाषाएँ तो बोल सकूँ किन्तु मुझमें प्रेम न हो, तो मैं एक बजता हुआ घड़ियाल या झंकारती हुई झाँझ मात्र हूँ। 2 यदि मुझमें परमेश्वर की ओर से बोलने की शक्ति हो और मैं परमेश्वर के सभी रहस्यों को जानता होऊँ तथा समूचा दिव्य ज्ञान भी मेरे पास हो और इतना विश्वास भी मुझमें हो कि पहाड़ों को अपने स्थान से सरका सकूँ, किन्तु मुझमें प्रेम न हो 3 तो मैं कुछ नहीं हूँ। यदि मैं अपनी सारी सम्पत्ति थोड़ी-थोड़ी कर के ज़रूरत मन्दों के लिए दान कर दूँ और अब चाहे अपने शरीर तक को जला डालने के लिए सौंप दूँ किन्तु यदि मैं प्रेम नहीं करता तो। इससे मेरा भला होने वाला नहीं है।
4 प्रेम धैर्यपूर्ण है, प्रेम दयामय है, प्रेम में ईर्ष्या नहीं होती, प्रेम अपनी प्रशंसा आप नहीं करता। 5 वह अभिमानी नहीं होता। वह अनुचित व्यवहार कभी नहीं करता, वह स्वार्थी नहीं है, प्रेम कभी झुँझलाता नहीं, वह बुराइयों का कोई लेखा-जोखा नहीं रखता। 6 बुराई पर कभी उसे प्रसन्नता नहीं होती। वह तो दूसरों के साथ सत्य पर आनंदित होता है। 7 वह सदा रक्षा करता है, वह सदा विश्वास करता है। प्रेम सदा आशा से पूर्ण रहता है। वह सहनशील है।
8 प्रेम अमर है। जबकि भविष्यवाणी का सामर्थ्य तो समाप्त हो जायेगा, दूसरी भाषाओं को बोलने की क्षमता युक्त जीभें एक दिन चुप हो जायेंगी, दिव्य ज्ञान का उपहार जाता रहेगा, 9 क्योंकि हमारा ज्ञान तो अधूरा है, हमारी भविष्यवाणियाँ अपूर्ण हैं। 10 किन्तु जब पूर्णता आयेगी तो वह अधूरापन चला जायेगा।
11 जब मैं बच्चा था तो एक बच्चे की तरह ही बोला करता था, वैसे ही सोचता था और उसी प्रकार सोच विचार करता था, किन्तु अब जब मैं बड़ा होकर पुरूष बन गया हूँ, तो वे बचपने की बातें जाती रही हैं। 12 क्योंकि अभी तो दर्पण में हमें एक धुँधला सा प्रतिबिंब दिखायी पड़ रहा है किन्तु पूर्णता प्राप्त हो जाने पर हम पूरी तरह आमने-सामने देखेंगे। अभी तो मेरा ज्ञान आंशिक है किन्तु समय आने पर वह परिपूर्ण होगा। वैसे ही जैसे परमेश्वर मुझे पूरी तरह जानता है। 13 इस दौरान विश्वास, आशा और प्रेम तो बने ही रहेंगे और इन तीनों में भी सबसे महान् है प्रेम।
1 Corinthians 13
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 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.
9 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.
1 Corinthians 13
New King James Version
The Greatest Gift
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of (A)prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, (B)so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And (C)though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 (D)Love suffers long and is (E)kind; love (F)does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, (G)does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 (H)does not rejoice in iniquity, but (I)rejoices in the truth; 7 (J)bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 (K)For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke 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 (L)now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then (M)face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13
New International Version
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. 2 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. 3 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.
4 Love is patient,(I) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.(J) 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,(K) it is not easily angered,(L) it keeps no record of wrongs.(M) 6 Love does not delight in evil(N) but rejoices with the truth.(O) 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.(P)
8 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. 9 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)
