- 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
我若能说人和天使的方言，却没有爱，我就成了鸣的锣、响的钹。
- 13:2 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 do not have love, I am nothing.
我若有申言的恩赐，也明白一切的奥秘，和一切的知识，并有全备的信，以致能够移山，却没有爱，我就算不得什么。
- 13:3 And if I dole out all my possessions to feed others, and if I deliver up my body that I may boast, but do not have love, I profit nothing.
我若将我一切所有的变卖为食物分给人吃，又舍己身叫我可以夸口，却没有爱，仍然与我无益。
- 13:4 Love suffers long. Love is kind; it is not jealous. Love does not brag and is not puffed up;
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 It does not behave unbecomingly and does not seek its own things; it is not provoked and does not take account of evil;
不作不合宜的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，
- 13:6 It does not rejoice because of unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
不因不义而欢乐，却与真理同欢乐；
- 13:7 It covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。
- 13:8 Love never falls away. But whether prophecies, they will be rendered useless; or tongues, they will cease; or knowledge, it will be rendered useless.
爱是永不败落；但申言终必归于无用，方言终必停止，知识也终必归于无用。
- 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
因为我们所知道的是局部的，所申言的也是局部的；
- 13:10 But when that which is complete comes, that which is in part will be rendered useless.
及至那完全的来到，这局部的就要归于无用了。
- 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child; since I have become a man, I have done away with childish things.
我作孩童的时候，说话像孩童，思想像孩童，推究像孩童，既已成人，就把孩童的事废掉了。
- 13:12 For now we see in a mirror obscurely, but at that time face to face; now I know in part, but at that time I will fully know even as also I was fully known.
我们如今对着镜子观看，模糊不清，到那时就要面对面了。我如今所知道的是局部的，到那时就全知道，如同我全被知道一样。
- 13:13 Now there abide faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
如今常存的，有信、望、爱这三样，其中最大的是爱。
