1 Corinto 13
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Pag-ibig
13 Makapagsalita man ako sa mga wika ng mga tao at ng mga anghel, kung wala naman akong pag-ibig, para lamang akong kampanang umaalingawngaw o pompiyang na maingay. 2 Kung(A) ako man ay may kakayahang magsalita ng mensahe mula sa Diyos at umunawa sa lahat ng hiwaga, kung nasa akin man ang lahat ng kaalaman at lahat ng pananampalataya, anupa't nakakapagpalipat ako ng mga bundok, ngunit wala naman akong pag-ibig, wala akong kabuluhan. 3 At kung ipamigay ko man ang lahat ng aking mga ari-arian at ialay ang aking katawan upang sunugin,[a] ngunit wala naman akong pag-ibig, wala rin akong mapapala!
4 Ang pag-ibig ay matiyaga at magandang-loob, hindi maiinggitin, hindi mayabang ni mapagmataas man, 5 hindi magaspang ang pag-uugali, hindi makasarili, hindi magagalitin, o mapagtanim ng sama ng loob sa kapwa. 6 Hindi ito natutuwa sa masama, sa halip ay nagagalak sa katotohanan. 7 Ang pag-ibig ay matiisin, mapagtiwala, puno ng pag-asa, at nagtitiyaga hanggang wakas.
8 Matatapos ang kakayahang magsalita ng mensahe mula sa Diyos, titigil rin ang kakayahang magsalita sa iba't ibang mga wika, at lilipas ang kaalaman, ngunit ang pag-ibig ay walang katapusan. 9 Hindi pa ganap ang ating kaalaman at hindi rin ganap ang kakayahan nating magsalita ng mensahe mula sa Diyos, 10 ngunit pagdating ng ganap, maglalaho na ang di-ganap.
11 Noong ako'y bata pa, ako'y nagsasalita, nag-iisip at nangangatuwirang tulad ng bata. Ngayong ako'y mayroon nang sapat na gulang, iniwanan ko na ang mga asal ng bata. 12 Sa kasalukuyan ang ating nakikita ay tila malabong larawan sa salamin, subalit darating ang araw na ang lahat ay makikita natin nang harapan. Bahagya lamang ang nalalaman ko ngayon, ngunit darating ang araw na malulubos ang kaalamang ito, tulad ng lubos na pagkakilala niya sa akin.
13 Samantala, nananatili ang tatlong ito: ang pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig, ngunit ang pinakadakila sa mga ito ay ang pag-ibig.

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
English Standard Version
The Way of Love
13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have (A)prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, (B)so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 (C)If I give away all I have, and (D)if I deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 (E)Love is patient and (F)kind; love (G)does not envy or boast; it (H)is not arrogant 5 or rude. It (I)does not insist on its own way; it (J)is not irritable or resentful;[b] 6 it (K)does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but (L)rejoices with the truth. 7 (M)Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, (N)endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For (O)we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but (P)when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For (Q)now we see in a mirror dimly, but (R)then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as (S)I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
