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.

¹[] Εαν λαλω τας γλωσσας των ανθρωπων και των αγγελων, αγαπην δε μη εχω, εγεινα χαλκος ηχων η κυμβαλον αλαλαζον.

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.

²Και εαν εχω προφητειαν και εξευρω παντα τα μυστηρια και πασαν την γνωσιν, και εαν εχω πασαν την πιστιν, ωστε να μετατοπιζω ορη, αγαπην δε μη εχω, ειμαι ουδεν.

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.

³Και εαν παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου διανειμω, και εαν παραδωσω το σωμα μου δια να καυθω, αγαπην δε μη εχω, ουδεν ωφελουμαι.

⁴Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁴[] Η αγαπη μακροθυμει, αγαθοποιει, η αγαπη δεν φθονει, η αγαπη δεν αυθαδιαζει, δεν επαιρεται,

⁵Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁵δεν ασχημονει, δεν ζητει τα εαυτης, δεν παροξυνεται, δεν διαλογιζεται το κακον,

⁶Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

⁶δεν χαιρει εις την αδικιαν, συγχαιρει δε εις την αληθειαν·

⁷Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁷παντα ανεχεται, παντα πιστευει, παντα ελπιζει, παντα υπομενει.

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.

⁸[] Η αγαπη ουδεποτε εκπιπτει· τα αλλα ομως, ειτε προφητειαι ειναι, θελουσι καταργηθη· ειτε γλωσσαι, θελουσι παυσει· ειτε γνωσις, θελει καταργηθη.

⁹For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

⁹Διοτι κατα μερος γινωσκομεν και κατα μερος προφητευομεν·

¹⁰But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

¹⁰οταν ομως ελθη το τελειον, τοτε το κατα μερος θελει καταργηθη.

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.

¹¹Οτε ημην νηπιος, ως νηπιος ελαλουν, ως νηπιος εφρονουν, ως νηπιος εσυλλογιζομην· οτε ομως εγεινα ανηρ, κατηργησα τα του νηπιου.

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.

¹²Διοτι τωρα βλεπομεν δια κατοπτρου αινιγματωδως, τοτε δε προσωπον προς προσωπον· τωρα γνωριζω κατα μερος, τοτε δε θελω γνωρισει καθως και εγνωρισθην.

¹³And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

¹³Τωρα δε μενει πιστις, ελπις, αγαπη, τα τρια ταυτα. μεγαλητερα δε τουτων ειναι η αγαπη.
