- 1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον
- 2And 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, and have not charity, I am nothing.⸂καὶ ἐὰν⸃ ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν ⸄καὶ ἐὰν⸅ ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη ⸀μεθιστάναι ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω οὐθέν εἰμι
- 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.⸂καὶ ἐὰν⸃ ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου ⸄καὶ ἐὰν⸃ παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα ⸀καυθήσομαι ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι
- 4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Ἡ ἀγάπη μακροθυμεῖ χρηστεύεται ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ ζηλοῖ ⸂ἡ ἀγάπη⸃ οὐ περπερεύεται οὐ φυσιοῦται
- 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ ἑαυτῆς οὐ οὐ λογίζεται τὸ κακόν
- 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ συγχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ
- 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.πάντα στέγει πάντα πιστεύει πάντα ἐλπίζει πάντα ὑπομένει
- 8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.Ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε ⸀πίπτει εἴτε δὲ προφητεῖαι καταργηθήσονται εἴτε γλῶσσαι παύσονται εἴτε γνῶσις καταργηθήσεται
- 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.ἐκ μέρους ⸀γὰρ γινώσκομεν καὶ ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν
- 10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ τὸ τέλειον ⸀τὸ ἐκ μέρους καταργηθήσεται
- 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.ὅτε ἤμην νήπιος ⸂ἐλάλουν ὡς νήπιος ἐφρόνουν ὡς νήπιος ἐλογιζόμην ὡς νήπιος⸃ ⸀ὅτε γέγονα ἀνήρ κατήργηκα τὰ τοῦ νηπίου
- 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι’ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην
- 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις ἐλπίς ἀγάπη τὰ τρία ταῦτα μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη
