1. but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

1. Though I command languages both human and angelic -- if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.

2. And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.

2. And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains -- if I am without love, I am nothing.

3. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

3. Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned -- if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,

4. Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited,

5. it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,

5. it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances.

6. it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

6. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth.

7. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

7. It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.

8. Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.

8. Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with.

9. For we know partially and we prophesy partially,

9. For we know only imperfectly, and we prophesy imperfectly;

10. but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

10. but once perfection comes, all imperfect things will be done away with.

11. When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.

12. At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.

12. Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as fully as I am myself known.
