The Excellence of Love | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. | 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. | 1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. | 1 IF I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. | 1 If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; | 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. | 2 And 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. | 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. | 2 And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. | 2 and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; | 3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. | 3 And 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. | 3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor , and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. | 3 And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. | 3 and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing. | 4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, | 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, | 4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, | 4 Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; | 4 The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, | 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, | 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; | 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; | 5 Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil; | 5 doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; | 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; | 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; | 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; | 6 rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; | 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. | 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. | 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. | 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. | 7 all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth. | 8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. | 8 Charity 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. | 8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. | 8 Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. | 8 The love doth never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; | 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; | 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. | 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; | 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. | 9 for in part we know, and in part we prophecy; | 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. | 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. | 10 but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. | 10 But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. | 10 and when that which is perfect may come, then that which is in part shall become useless. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. | 11 When 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. | 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. | 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. | 11 When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; | 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. | 12 For 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. | 12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. | 12 We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know I part; but then I shall know even as I am known. | 12 for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known; | 13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. | 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. | 13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. | 13 And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity. | 13 and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love. |
