Saint Paul's Hymn of Love |
|
|
| ���� ��� If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, |
|
|
| ������������������ but have not love, |
|
|
| ���� ��� I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. |
|
|
| �������� 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. |
|
|
| �������� If I give away all I have, |
|
|
| �������� and if I deliver my body to be burned, |
|
|
| ������������������ but have not love, |
|
|
| �������� I gain nothing. |
|
|
| ���� ��� Love is patient and kind; |
|
|
| �������� love is not jealous or boastful; |
|
|
| �������� it is not arrogant or rude. |
|
|
| �������� Love does not insist on its own way; |
|
|
| �������� it is not irritable or resentful; |
|
|
| �������� it does not rejoice at wrong, |
|
|
| �������� but rejoices in the right. |
|
|
| �������� Love bears all things, believes all things, |
|
|
| �������� hopes all things, endures all things. |
|
|
| �������� Love never ends; as for prophecies, |
|
|
| �������� they will pass away; as for tongues, |
|
|
| �������� they will cease; as for knowledge, |
|
|
| �������� it will pass away. |
|
|
| �������� For our knowledge is imperfect |
|
|
| �������� and our prophecy is imperfect; |
|
|
| �������� but when the perfect comes, |
|
|
| �������� the imperfect will pass away. |
|
|
| �������� 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. |
|
|
| �������� 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. |
|
|
| �������� So faith, hope, love abide, these three; |
|
|
| �������� but the greatest of these is love |
|
|
|
�� (1 Cor 13). |
