沒有愛就算不得甚麼

愛是恆久忍耐

⁶不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理；Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.

⁷凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

愛是永不止息

⁸愛是永不止息。先知講道之能終必歸於無有；說方言之能終必停止；知識也終必歸於無有。Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

⁹我們現在所知道的有限，先知所講的也有限，For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

¹⁰等那完全的來到，這有限的必歸於無有了。but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.

從孩子到成人

¹¹我作孩子的時候，話語像孩子，心思像孩子，意念像孩子，既成了人，就把孩子的事丟棄了。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 set aside childish ways.

¹²我們如今彷彿對著鏡子觀看，模糊不清（原文是如同猜謎），到那時就要面對面了。我如今所知道的有限，到那時就全知道，如同主知道我一樣。Now we see but a dim 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.

其中最大的是愛

¹³如今常存的有信，有望，有愛這三樣，其中最大的是愛。And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
