8 Now de concerning peri · ho food sacrificed to idols eidōlothutos: we know oida that hoti “ we echō all pas have echō knowledge gnōsis.” · ho Knowledge gnōsis puffs up physioō, · ho but de love agapē builds up oikodomeō.

13 If ean I speak laleō in the ho tongues glōssa of ho men anthrōpos and kai of ho angels angelos, but de do echō not mē have echō love agapē, I am ginomai a resounding ēcheō gong chalkos or ē a clanging alalazō cymbal kymbalon. ² And kai if ean I have echō the gift of prophecy prophēteia, and kai understand oida · ho all pas mysteries mystērion and kai all pas · ho knowledge gnōsis, and kai if ean I have echō all pas · ho faith pistis so that hōste I can remove methistēmi mountains oros, but de do echō not mē have echō love agapē, I am eimi nothing outheis. ³ If I kan give away psōmizō everything pas · ho I egō own hyparchō, and kai if ean I surrender paradidōmi · ho my egō body sōma to hina be burned kauchaomai, but de do echō not mē have echō love agapē, it benefits me ōpheleō nothing oudeis.

⁴ · ho Love agapē is patient makrothumeō, love agapē is kind chrēsteuomai, · ho it does not ou envy zēloō. · ho Love agapē does not ou brag perpereuomai, it is not ou arrogant physioō,

⁸ · ho Love agapē never oudepote comes to an end piptō. But de if eite there are prophecies prophēteia, they will be set aside katargeō; if eite there are tongues glōssa, they will cease pauō; if eite there is knowledge gnōsis, it will be set aside katargeō.

14 Pursue diōkō · ho love agapē, and de earnestly desire zēloō the ho spiritual pneumatikos gifts , but de especially mallon that hina you may prophesy prophēteuō.

¹⁴ Everything pas you hymeis do should be done ginomai in en love agapē.

¹⁴ And de cover epi all pas these houtos virtues with ho love agapē, which hos is eimi the bond syndesmos that ho leads to perfection teleiotēs.

⁶ But de just now arti Timothy Timotheos has come erchomai to pros us hēmeis from apo you hymeis, and kai has brought us hēmeis the good news euangelizō of ho your faith pistis and kai · ho your hymeis love agapē; and kai that hoti you always pantote think mneia of us hēmeis with echō affection agathos and long epipotheō to see us hēmeis even as kathaper · kai we hēmeis long to see you hymeis.

³ We ought opheilō always pantote to thank eucharisteō · ho God theos for peri you hymeis, brothers adelphos, as kathōs is eimi fitting axios, because hoti your hymeis faith pistis is growing abundantly hyperauxanō, · ho and kai the ho love agapē of each hekastos one heis of you hymeis for eis one another allēlōn is increasing pleonazō,
