13:4 爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒，爱是不自夸，不张狂，
13:5 不做害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，
13:6 不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；
13:7 凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐；
13:8 爱是永不止息。先知讲道之能，终必归于无有；说方言之能，终必停止；知识也终必归于无有。
13:9 我们现在所知道的有限，先知所讲的也有限，
13:10 等那完全的来到，这有限的必归于无有了。
13:11 我作孩子的时候，话语像孩子，心思像孩子，意念像孩子；既成了人，就把孩子的事丢弃了。
13:12 我们如今仿佛对着镜子观看，模糊不清（注：“模糊不清”原文作“如同猜谜”），到那时，就要面对面了。我如今所知道的有限，到那时就全知道，如同主知道我一样。
13:13 如今常存的有信，有望，有爱；这三样，其中最大的是爱。
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
