1 Corinthians 13

1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

εαν ταις γλωσσαις των ανθρωπων λαλω και των αγγελων, αγαπην δε μη εχω, γεγονα 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, but have not love, I am nothing.

και εαν εχω προφητειαν και ειδω τα μυστηρια παντα και πασαν την γνωσιν, και εαν εχω πασαν την πιστιν, ωστε ορη μεθιστανειν, αγαπην δε μη εχω, ουδεν ειμι.

3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

και εαν ψωμισω παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου, και εαν παραδω το σωμα μου ινα καυθησομαι, αγαπην δε μη εχω, ουδεν ωφελουμαι.

4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

η αγαπη μακροθυμει, χρηστευεται, η αγαπη ου ζηλοι, η αγαπη ου περπερευεται, ου φυσιουται,

5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

ουκ ασχημονει, ου ζητει τα εαυτης, ου παροξυνεται, ου λογιζεται το κακον,

6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

ου χαιρει επι τη αδικια, συγχαιρει δε τη αληθεια·

7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

παντα στεγει, παντα πιστευει, παντα ελπιζει, παντα υπομενει.

8Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

η αγαπη ουδεποτε εκπιπτει. ειτε δε προφητειαι, καταργηθησονται· ειτε γλωσσαι, παυσονται· ειτε γνωσις, καταργηθησεται.

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

εκ μερους δε γινωσκομεν και εκ μερους προφητευομεν·

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

οταν δε ελθη το τελειον, τοτε το εκ μερους καταργηθησεται.

11When 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 childish things.

οτε ημην νηπιος, ως νηπιος ελαλουν, ως νηπιος εφρονουν, ως νηπιος ελογιζομην· οτε δε γεγονα ανηρ, κατηργηκα τα του νηπιου.

12For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

βλεπομεν γαρ αρτι δι εσοπτρου εν αινιγματι, τοτε δε προσωπον προς προσωπον· αρτι γινωσκω εκ μερους, τοτε δε επιγνωσομαι καθως και επεγνωσθην.

13And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

νυνι δε μενει πιστις, ελπις, αγαπη, τα τρια ταυτα· μειζων δε τουτων η αγαπη.
