El amor
13 Si yo tengo el don de hablar en lenguas humanas o angélicas y no tengo amor, soy como un metal que resuena o un platillo que hace ruido.
2 Si tengo el don de profecía y sé absolutamente de todo, y no tengo amor, no soy nada. Y si tengo una fe tan grande que puedo hacer que los montes cambien de lugar, de nada me servirá sin amor.
3 Si entrego a los pobres hasta el último bien terrenal que poseo, y si dejo que me quemen vivo, pero no tengo amor, de nada me servirá.
4 El amor es paciente, es benigno; el amor no es envidioso; el amor no es presumido ni orgulloso; 5 no se comporta con rudeza ni es egoísta ni se enoja fácilmente ni guarda rencor; 6 al amor no le gustan las injusticias y se regocija cuando triunfa la verdad.
7 El amor disculpa todos los errores, siempre confía en la persona amada, espera de ella lo mejor y todo lo soporta.
8-9 Un día se dejará de profetizar y de hablar en lenguas, y el saber ya no será necesario, pues sabemos muy poco y profetizamos imperfectamente; pero siempre existirá el amor. 10 Y cuando Dios nos haga perfectos, lo que es imperfecto desaparecerá.
11 Cuando yo era niño, hablaba, pensaba y razonaba como niño; pero cuando alcancé madurez en la vida, dejé a un lado las cosas de niño. 12 De la misma manera, nuestros conocimientos son ahora muy limitados, como si estuviéramos viendo una figura en un espejo defectuoso; pero un día veremos las cosas como son, cara a cara. Mis conocimientos son ahora imperfectos, pero en aquel día podré conocer tal y como él me conoce a mí.
13 Tres virtudes hay que ahora permanecen: la fe, la esperanza y el amor. Pero la más excelente de ellas es el amor.

1 Corinthians 13
Worldwide English (New Testament)
13 If I talk with the tongues of men and even of angels, but if I do not love people, then I am only like the sound of a big horn or a loud bell.
2 If I speak words from God, if I can understand all secrets, and know everything, if I can move mountains by believing, but if I do not love people, I am nothing, even though I can do all of these things.
3 If I give away all I have, and if I give my body to be burned, but if I do not love people, I get nothing out of it.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not proud and does not boast.
5 Love does not do things that are not nice. Love does not just think of itself. Love does not get angry. Love holds no wrong feelings in the heart.
6 Love is not glad when people do wrong things. But it is always glad when they do right.
7 Love forgives everything. Love is always trusting, and always hoping, and never gives up.
8 Love never ends. The gift of speaking words from God will end. The gift of speaking in different tongues or languages will stop. The gift of knowing many things will end.
9 Now we know only a little, and we can speak only a little of God's words.
10 But when everything becomes perfect, that part will come to an end.
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child. I understood like a child. I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I stopped doing things like a child.
12 Now it is like looking in a looking-glass which does not make things clear. We cannot see and understand things plainly. But when things become perfect, then we shall fully know and understand everything, just as God knows.
13 These three things will remain for ever. They are faith, hope, and love. And love is the greatest of them.
1 Corinthians 13
King James Version
1 Corinthians 13
King James Version
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
1 Corinthians 13
New International Version
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)
