我现今把最妙的道指示你们。
13: 1
我若能说万人的方言,并天使的话语,却没有爱,我就成了呜的锣、响的钹一般。13: 2
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
我若有先知讲道之能,也明白各样的奥秘、各样的知识,而且有全备的信,叫我能够移山,却没有爱,我就算不得什么。13: 3
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
我若将所有的周济穷人,又舍己身叫人焚烧,却没有爱,仍然与我无益。13: 4
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
