Darby Bible Translation

New Living Translation

  • Love

    If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
  • Love Is the Greatest

    If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
  • And if I have prophecy, and know 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 had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.
  • And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.
  • If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;a but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
  • Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous [of others]; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,
  • Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
  • does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own, is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,
  • or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
  • does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,
  • It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
  • bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
  • Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
  • Love never fails; but whether prophecies, they shall be done away; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be done away.
  • Prophecy and speaking in unknown languagesb and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!
  • For we know in part, and we prophesy in part:
  • Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!
  • but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.
  • But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
  • When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I had done with what belonged to the child.
  • When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
  • For we see now through a dim window obscurely, but then face to face; now I know partially, but then I shall know according as I also have been known.
  • Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.c All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
  • And now abide faith, hope, love; these three things; and the greater of these [is] love.
  • Three things will last forever — faith, hope, and love — and the greatest of these is love.
