1 Corinthians 13


font
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition NOVA VULGATA
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.1 Si linguis hominum loquar et angelorum, caritatem au tem non habeam,factus sum velut aes sonans aut cymbalum tinniens.
2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.2 Et si habuero prophetiam et noverim mysteria omnia et omnem scientiam, et sihabuero omnem fidem, ita ut montes transferam, caritatem autem non habuero,nihil sum.
3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.3 Et si distribuero in cibos omnes facultates meas et si tradidero corpus meum,ut glorier, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil mihi prodest.
4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;4 Caritas patiens est, benigna est caritas, non aemulatur, non agit superbe, noninflatur,
5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;5 non est ambitiosa, non quaerit, quae sua sunt, non irritatur, noncogitat malum,
6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.6 non gaudet super iniquitatem, congaudet autem veritati;
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.7 omniasuffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet.
8 Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.8 Caritas numquam excidit. Sive prophetiae, evacuabuntur; sive linguae,cessabunt; sive scientia, destruetur.
9 For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;9 Ex parte enim cognoscimus et ex parteprophetamus;
10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.10 cum autem venerit, quod perfectum est, evacuabitur, quod exparte est.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.11 Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus,cogitabam ut parvulus; quando factus sum vir, evacuavi, quae erant parvuli.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.12 Videmus enim nunc per speculum in aenigmate, tunc autem facie ad faciem; nunccognosco ex parte, tunc autem cognoscam, sicut et cognitus sum.
13 So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.13 Nunc autem manet fides, spes, caritas, tria haec; maior autem ex his estcaritas.
