The Excellence of Love
1 If G1437 I speak G2980 with the tongues G1100 of men G444 and of angels G32, but do not have G2192 love G26, I have become G1096 a noisy G2278 gong G5475 or G2228 a clanging G214 cymbal G2950.
2 And if G1437 I have G2192 the gift of prophecy G4394, and know G6063 all G3956 mysteries G3466 and all G3956 knowledge G1108; and if G1437 I have G2192 all G3956 faith G4102, so G5620 as to remove G3179 mountains G3735, but do not have G2192 love G26, I am G1510 nothing G3762. 3 And if G1437 I give G5595 all G3956 my possessions G5225 to feed G5595 the poor, and if G1437 I surrender G3860 my body G4983 [fn]to be burned G2545, but do not have G2192 love G26, it profits G5623 me nothing G3762.
4 Love G26 is G3114 patient G3114, love G26 is kind G5541, is G2206 not jealous G2206, does not brag G4068, is not puffed G5448 up G5448; 5 it does not act G807 unbecomingly G807, does not seek G2212 its own G1438, is not provoked G3947, does not take G3049 into G3049 account G3049 a wrong G2556 suffered; 6 it does not rejoice G5463 in unrighteousness G93, but rejoices G4796 with G4796 the truth G225; 7 [fn]it bears G4722 all G3956 things G3956, believes G4100 all G3956 things G3956, hopes G1679 all G3956 things G3956, endures G5278 all G3956 things G3956.
8 Love G26 never G3763 fails G4098, but if G1535 there are gifts of [fn]prophecy G4394, they will be done G2673 away G2673; if G1535 there are tongues G1100, they will cease G3973; if G1535 there is knowledge G1108, it will be done G2673 away G2673. 9 For we know G1097 in part G3313 and we prophesy G4395 in G3313 part G3313, 10 but when G3752 the [fn]perfect G5046 comes G2064, the partial G3313 will be done G2673 away G2673. 11 When G3753 I was a child G3516, I used to speak G2980 like G5613 a child G3516, think G5426 like G5613 a child G3516, reason G3049 like G5613 a child G3516. When G3753 I [fn]became G1096 a man G435, I did G2673 away G2673 with G2673 childish G3516 things. 12 For now G737 we see G991 in a mirror G2072 [fn]dimly G135, but then G5119 face G4383 to face G4383. Now G737 I know G1097 in part G3313, but then G5119 I will know G1921 fully G1921 just G2531 as I also G2532 have been fully G1921 known G1921. 13 But now G3570 abide G3306 faith G4102, hope G1680, love G26—these G3778 three G5140; but the [fn]greatest G3173 of these G3778 is love G26.
