圣经·哥林多前书13章  译文

(本篇是使徒保罗写给哥林多教会的信)

1Co 13:1  我若能说万人的方言，并天使的话语，却没有爱，我就成了鸣的锣，响的钹一般。
1Co 13:2  我若有先知讲道之能，也明白各样的奥秘，各样的知识，而且有全备的信，叫我能够移山，却没有爱，我就算不得什麽。
1Co 13:3  我若将所有的周济穷人，又舍己身叫人焚烧，却没有爱，仍然与我无益。
1Co 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。
1Co 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。
1Co 13:6  不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；
1Co 13:7  凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。
1Co 13:8  爱是永不止息。先知讲道之能终必归於无有；说方言之能终必停止；知识也终必归於无有。
1Co 13:9  我们现在所知道的有限，先知所讲的也有限。
1Co 13:10  等那完全的来到，这有限的必归於无有了。
1Co 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。
1Co 13:12  我们如今彷佛对著镜子观看，模糊不清；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。
1Co 13:13  如今常存的有信，有望，有爱这三样，其中最大的是爱。

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love,I am only a resounding gong or a clinging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophency and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,but have not love,I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient,love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,it is not proud.
5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,it is not easily angered,it keeps no recording of wrongs
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects,always trusts,always hopes,always perserveres.
8 Love 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.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when perfection comes,the imperfect disappears.
11 When 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.
12 Now 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.
13 And now these three remain:faith,hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
