| Verse | |
| 1. 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 prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. | |
| 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. | |
| 4. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; Images | |
| 5. does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; | |
| 6. does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; | |
| 7. 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. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. | |
| 10. But when that which is 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 now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. Images | |
| 13. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Images |
