Love
13 I may speak in the languages of humans and of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal. 2 I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don’t have love, I am nothing. 3 I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned.[a] But if I don’t have love, none of these things will help me.
4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. 5 It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. 6 It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. 7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.
8 Love never comes to an end. There is the gift of speaking what God has revealed, but it will no longer be used. There is the gift of speaking in other languages, but it will stop by itself. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will no longer be used. 9 Our knowledge is incomplete and our ability to speak what God has revealed is incomplete. 10 But when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will no longer be used. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I no longer used childish ways. 12 Now we see a blurred image in a mirror. Then we will see very clearly. Now my knowledge is incomplete. Then I will have complete knowledge as God has complete knowledge of me.
13 So these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the best one of these is love.

13 Se parlassi le lingue degli uomini e degli angeli, ma non avessi amore, sarei un rame risonante o uno squillante cembalo. 2 Se avessi il dono di profezia e conoscessi tutti i misteri e tutta la scienza e avessi tutta la fede in modo da spostare i monti, ma non avessi amore, non sarei nulla. 3 Se distribuissi tutti i miei beni per nutrire i poveri, se dessi il mio corpo a essere arso[a], e non avessi amore, non mi gioverebbe a niente.
4 L’amore è paziente, è benevolo; l’amore non invidia; {l’amore} non si vanta, non si gonfia, 5 non si comporta in modo sconveniente, non cerca il proprio interesse, non s’inasprisce, non addebita il male[b], 6 non gode dell’ingiustizia, ma gioisce con la verità; 7 soffre ogni cosa, crede ogni cosa, spera ogni cosa, sopporta ogni cosa.
8 L’amore non verrà mai meno. Le profezie verranno abolite; le lingue cesseranno e la conoscenza verrà abolita, 9 poiché noi conosciamo in parte, e in parte profetizziamo; 10 ma quando la perfezione sarà venuta, [allora] quello che è solo in parte sarà abolito. 11 Quando ero bambino, parlavo da bambino, pensavo da bambino, ragionavo da bambino; ma quando sono diventato uomo, ho smesso le cose da bambino. 12 Poiché ora vediamo come in uno specchio[c], in modo oscuro; ma allora vedremo faccia a faccia; ora conosco in parte; ma allora conoscerò pienamente, come anche sono stato perfettamente conosciuto.
13 Ora dunque queste tre cose durano: fede, speranza, amore; ma la più grande di esse è l’amore.

1 Corinthians 13
New International Version
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. 2 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. 3 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.
4 Love is patient,(I) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.(J) 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,(K) it is not easily angered,(L) it keeps no record of wrongs.(M) 6 Love does not delight in evil(N) but rejoices with the truth.(O) 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.(P)
8 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. 9 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)
