Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal.
1Si linguis hominum loquar, et angelorum, caritatem autem non habeam, factus sum velut æs sonans, aut cymbalum tinniens.
2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
2Et si habuero prophetiam, et noverim mysteria omnia, et omnem scientiam: et si habuero omnem fidem ita ut montes transferam, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil sum.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing.
3Et si distribuero in cibos pauperum omnes facultates meas, et si tradidero corpus meum ita ut ardeam, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil mihi prodest.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
4Caritas patiens est, benigna est. Caritas non æmulatur, non agit perperam, non inflatur,
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.
5non est ambitiosa, non quærit quæ sua sunt, non irritatur, non cogitat malum,
6Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth.
6non gaudet super iniquitate, congaudet autem veritati:
7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
7omnia suffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet.
8Love 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.
8Caritas numquam excidit: sive prophetiæ evacuabuntur, sive linguæ cessabunt, sive scientia destruetur.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
9Ex parte enim cognoscimus, et ex parte prophetamus.
10but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.
10Cum autem venerit quod perfectum est, evacuabitur quod ex parte est.
11When 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.
11Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus, cogitabam ut parvulus. Quando autem factus sum vir, evacuavi quæ erant parvuli.
12Now 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.
12Videmus nunc per speculum in ænigmate: tunc autem facie ad faciem. Nunc cognosco ex parte: tunc autem cognoscam sicut et cognitus sum.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.
13Nunc autem manent fides, spes, caritas, tria hæc: major autem horum est caritas.
