< 1 Corinthians 13 >

1 If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.
εαν ταις γλωσσαις των ανθρωπων λαλω και των αγγελων αγαπην δε μη εχω γεγονα χαλκος ηχων η κυμβαλον αλαλαζον
2 And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.
και εαν εχω προφητειαν και ειδω τα μυστηρια παντα και πασαν την γνωσιν και εαν εχω πασαν την πιστιν ωστε ορη μεθιστανειν αγαπην δε μη εχω {VAR1: ουθεν } {VAR2: ουδεν } ειμι
3 And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.
και εαν ψωμισω παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου και εαν παραδω το σωμα μου ινα καυθησωμαι αγαπην δε μη εχω ουδεν ωφελουμαι
4 Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;
η αγαπη μακροθυμει χρηστευεται η αγαπη ου ζηλοι η αγαπη ου περπερευεται ου φυσιουται
5 Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;
ουκ ασχημονει ου ζητει τα εαυτης ου παροξυνεται ου λογιζεται το κακον
6 It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;
ου χαιρει επι τη αδικια συγχαιρει δε τη αληθεια
7 Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.
παντα στεγει παντα πιστευει παντα ελπιζει παντα υπομενει
8 Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.
η αγαπη ουδεποτε εκπιπτει ειτε δε προφητειαι καταργηθησονται ειτε γλωσσαι παυσονται ειτε γνωσις καταργηθησεται
9 For our knowledge is only in part, and the prophet's word gives only a part of what is true:
εκ μερους γαρ γινωσκομεν και εκ μερους προφητευομεν
10 But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.
οταν δε ελθη το τελειον τοτε το εκ μερους καταργηθησεται
11 When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.
οτε ημην νηπιος ως νηπιος ελαλουν ως νηπιος εφρονουν ως νηπιος ελογιζομην οτε δε γεγονα ανηρ κατηργηκα τα του νηπιου
12 For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.
βλεπομεν γαρ αρτι δι εσοπτρου εν αινιγματι τοτε δε προσωπον προς προσωπον αρτι γινωσκω εκ μερους τοτε δε επιγνωσομαι καθως και επεγνωσθην
13 But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
νυνι δε μενει πιστις ελπις αγαπη τα τρια ταυτα μειζων δε τουτων η αγαπη
