1 Corinthians 13
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Si linguis hominum loquar, et angelorum, caritatem autem non habeam, factus sum velut æs sonans, aut cymbalum tinniens.
2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, 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.
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor , and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me 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.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
4Caritas patiens est, benigna est. Caritas non æmulatur, non agit perperam, non inflatur,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
5non est ambitiosa, non quærit quæ sua sunt, non irritatur, non cogitat malum,
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
6non gaudet super iniquitate, congaudet autem veritati:
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
7omnia suffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
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 that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
10Cum autem venerit quod perfectum est, evacuabitur quod ex parte est.
11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
11Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus, cogitabam ut parvulus. Quando autem factus sum vir, evacuavi quæ erant parvuli.
12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am 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 abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
13Nunc autem manent fides, spes, caritas, tria hæc: major autem horum est caritas.
