1 Corinthians 13
1 Supposing we could speak [all] the various languages [MTY] that people [in the world speak] and even speak [the language] that angels [speak]. If we did not love [others, speaking those languages] would be [as useless as beating] a brass gong or clanging cymbals [together].
如果我能熟练讲述这世间甚至是天使的语言，但没有爱，我的语言也不过就像发出回响的锣，或者发出碰撞声的钹。
2 Supposing we had the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, and we could understand the plans that he has not yet revealed [to others], and we could know everything [about everything], and we believed in God so strongly that we could [do impossible things like] causing mountains to move. If we did not love [others, God would consider all that] to be worthless.
如果我可以说出预言，知晓所有奥秘和所有的知识，拥有可以移动山峦的信心，但没有爱，我就一无是处。
3 And supposing we would give everything that we own to poor people, and would let others kill us in order that we could boast about [sacrificing our] own bodies. If we did not love [others], we would not get any reward [from God].
我若把自己拥有的一切分给穷困之人，或如被焚烧的殉道者舍弃自己的生命，但没有爱，我什么也得不到。
4 Those who [PRS] truly love [others] act patiently and kindly toward them. Those who [PRS] truly love [others] are not jealous of them, they do not boast [about what they themselves have done], and are not proud.
爱是耐心和善良。爱是不嫉妒、不吹嘘、不傲慢。
5 Those who [PRS] truly love [others] do not act in disgraceful/disrespectful ways towards them. They do not (act selfishly/think only of themselves and what they want). They do not quickly become angry. They do not keep remembering the bad things [that others have done to them].
爱是不做错误之举，不会固守自己的方式。爱是不会轻易动怒，对他人的过错不记仇。
6 Those who [PRS] truly love [others] do not rejoice when [people do] evil things, but they do rejoice when [people act] righteously.
爱不会因罪恶而喜悦，只喜欢真理。
7 Those who truly love [others] patiently put up [the faults of others]. They do not quickly assume [that others have done something bad]. They confidently expect [that others will act righteously]. They patiently endure [all their own troubles].
爱是不放弃，是坚守信念，是保持信心，是时刻保持耐心。
8 We should never [PRS] let anything stop us from continuing to love [others]. As for the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, some day that will come to an end. As for the ability to speak languages [MTY] [that we have not learned], that will [also] come to an end some day. And as for the ability to know things that God reveals to us, that will come to an end some day [because it will not be necessary any more].
爱永生不息。预言终会结束，语言终将沉默，知识最终也会失去它的用途。
9 God does not reveal everything to us, and we cannot know everything that he knows.
我们对知识和语言的理解非常片面。
10 But when everything is perfect [after Christ returns], things which are not perfect [now], [such as the abilities which God’s Spirit gives us], will (disappear/come to an end).
等结束终将来临，这片面的理解也将消失。
11 When we were children, we talked like children talk, we thought like children think, we reasoned like children reason. But when we grew up, we got rid of our childish ways [MET]. [Similarly], [you need to get rid of your childish thinking about the abilities that the Spirit has given you].
如果是孩子，其说话、思想和反应就要像个孩子。但孩子长大后，就要丢弃一切孩子气的行为。
12 In this life we do not understand everything fully. It is like [MET] looking at something indirectly by seeing it in a mirror. But [when we get to heaven] [MTY], we will [understand everything clearly. It will be like] talking to someone face-to-face. Now we know only part [of everything that God wants us to know]. Then we will know everything completely, just like [God] knows us completely.
此刻我们就像窥视以免镜子模糊的反光，但很快，我们就要彼此相见了。我现在所知仅为一部分，到时候就会知晓一切，好像完全知道我一样。
13 So now there are three things [that we must] continue [to do]: To trust [in God], to confidently expect [to receive what he will give us], and to love [others]. But the greatest of those three things is loving [others].
信任、希望和爱将永续存在，但最重要的仍然是爱。
