1 Corinthians 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing 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.
2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have 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.
3 If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain 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.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,	4 Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up;
5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,	5 Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;
6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.	6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth;
7 It 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.
8 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.	8 Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed.
9 For we know partially and we prophesy partially,	9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.	10 But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside 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.
12 At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am 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.
13 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.	13 And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.
