Ang Pag-ibig

13 Kung ako'y magsalita ng mga wika ng mga tao at ng mga anghel, subalit wala akong pag-ibig, ako'y nagiging isang maingay na pompiyang, o batingaw na umaalingawngaw.

At(A) kung mayroon akong kaloob ng propesiya, at nauunawaan ko ang lahat ng mga hiwaga at ang lahat ng mga kaalaman, at kung mayroon akong buong pananampalataya, upang mapalipat ko ang mga bundok, ngunit wala akong pag-ibig, ako ay walang kabuluhan.

At kung ipamigay ko ang lahat ng aking ari-arian, at kung ibigay ko ang aking katawan upang sunugin,[a] subalit walang pag-ibig, wala akong mapapakinabang.

Ang pag-ibig ay matiisin at magandang-loob; ang pag-ibig ay hindi maiinggitin, o mapagmalaki o hambog;

hindi magaspang ang kilos. Hindi nito ipinipilit ang sariling kagustuhan, hindi mayayamutin, hindi nagtatala ng mga pagkakamali.

Hindi ito natutuwa sa masamang gawa, kundi natutuwa sa katotohanan.

Pinapasan nito ang lahat ng bagay, pinaniniwalaan ang lahat ng bagay, inaasahan ang lahat ng bagay, tinitiis ang lahat ng bagay.

Ang pag-ibig ay walang katapusan. Subalit maging mga propesiya ay matatapos; maging mga wika ay titigil; maging kaalaman ay lilipas.

Sapagkat ang nalalaman natin ay bahagi lamang at nagsasalita tayo ng propesiya nang bahagi lamang;

10 subalit kapag ang sakdal ay dumating, ang bahagi lamang ay magwawakas.

11 Nang ako'y bata pa, nagsasalita akong gaya ng bata, nag-iisip akong gaya ng bata, nangangatuwiran akong gaya ng bata. Ngayong ganap na ang aking pagkatao, ay iniwan ko na ang mga bagay ng pagkabata.

12 Sapagkat ngayo'y malabo nating nakikita sa isang salamin, ngunit pagkatapos nito ay makikita natin nang mukhaan. Ngayo'y bahagi lamang ang nalalaman ko, ngunit pagkatapos ay lubos kong mauunawaan kung papaanong ako ay lubos na nakikilala.

13 At ngayon ay nananatili ang tatlong ito: ang pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig, ngunit ang pinakadakila sa mga ito ay ang pag-ibig.

  1. 1 Corinto 13:3 Sa ibang mga kasulatan ay upang ako ay magmalaki .

13 If I speak in the tongues[a](A) of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy(B) and can fathom all mysteries(C) and all knowledge,(D) and if I have a faith(E) that can move mountains,(F) but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor(G) and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b](H) but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient,(I) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.(J) It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,(K) it is not easily angered,(L) it keeps no record of wrongs.(M) Love does not delight in evil(N) but rejoices with the truth.(O) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.(P)

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,(Q) they will cease; where there are tongues,(R) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part(S) and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes,(T) what is in part disappears. 11 When 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 put the ways of childhood(U) behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;(V) then we shall see face to face.(W) Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.(X)

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.(Y) But the greatest of these is love.(Z)

The Excellence of Love

13 If I speak with the (A)tongues of mankind and of (B)angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a (C)clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of (D)prophecy and know all (E)mysteries and all (F)knowledge, and if I have (G)all faith so as to (H)remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I (I)give away all my possessions to charity, and if I (J)surrender my body so that I may [a]glory, but do not have love, it does me no good.

Love (K)is patient, love is kind, it (L)is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not (M)arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it (N)does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, (O)does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, (P)it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but (Q)rejoices with the truth; it [b](R)keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails; but if there are gifts of [c](S)prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are (T)tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For we (U)know in part and prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I [d]became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now we (V)see in a mirror [e]dimly, but then (W)face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also (X)have been fully known. 13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the [f]greatest of these is (Y)love.
