1 Corinto 13
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Gugma
13 Bisan makasulti ako sa nagkalain-laing mga pinulongan sa mga tawo ug sa mga anghel, apan kon wala akoy gugma sa akong isigka-tawo, sama lang ako sa agong nga saba o piyangpiyang nga nagtagingting. 2 Ug bisan makasugilon ako sa pulong sa Dios ug makasabot sa tanang tinagong mga kamatuoran ug sa tanang kahibalo, ug bisan mapabalhin ko ang bukid tungod sa akong dakong pagtuo, kon wala akoy gugma wala gayod akoy kapuslanan. 3 Bisan iapod-apod ko pa sa mga kabos ang tanan kong mga kabtangan, ug bisan ihalad ko ang akong lawas aron sunogon,[a] kon wala akoy gugma, wala gihapon akoy kapuslanan.
4 Ang tawo nga nagahigugma, mapailubon, maayo sa iyang isigka-tawo, dili masinahon, dili hambogiro o garboso, 5 dili bastos, dili hakog, dili ulitan, dili madinumtanon, 6 dili malipay sa daotan kondili sa matarong, 7 sa kanunay mainantuson, sa kanunay may pagsalig ug paglaom, ug sa kanunay molahutay.
8 May kataposan ang mga pagsugilon sa pulong sa Dios, ug ang mga pagsulti sa mga pinulongan nga wala matun-i, ug ang kahibalo, apan ang gugma wala gayoy kataposan. 9 Kay ang mga butang nga atong nasayran ug ang atong pagpasabot sa pulong sa Dios dili pa gayod kompleto. 10 Apan kon moabot na ang adlaw nga mahingpit na ang tanan mawala na ang pagkadili-hingpit.[b]
11 Sa bata pa ako, ang akong pagsulti, ang akong pagsabot, ug ang akong hunahuna binata. Apan sa dihang may buot na ako, gibiyaan ko ang binata nga paggawi. 12 Karon mora kitag nagtan-aw sa salamin nga hanap; apan moabot ang adlaw nga maklaro gayod ang tanan. Karon tipik lamang ang atong nasayran; apan moabot ang adlaw nga masayran nato ang tanan, sama sa pagkasayod sa Dios kanato.
13 Tulo ka butang ang magpadayon ug kining tulo mao ang pagsalig, paglaom, ug ang gugma. Apan ang gugma mao gayod ang labing mahinungdanon.

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)

Love Is the Greatest Gift
13 I may speak in ·different languages [L tongues; 12:10, 29, 30] of people or even angels. But if I do not have love, I am only a ·noisy [resounding] ·bell [gong] or a ·crashing [clanging] cymbal. 2 I may have the gift of prophecy. I may understand all ·the secret things of God [L mysteries] and have all knowledge, and I may have faith so great I can move mountains. But even with all these things, if I do not have love, then I am nothing. 3 I may give away everything I have, and I may even give my body ·as an offering to be burned [L to be burned].[a] But I gain nothing if I do not have love.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not ·jealous [envious], it does not brag, and it is not ·proud [arrogant; conceited; puffed up]. 5 Love is not ·rude [disrespectful], is not ·selfish [self-serving], and ·does not get upset with others [is not easily provoked/angered]. Love does not ·count up [keep a record of] wrongs that have been done. 6 Love ·takes no pleasure [does not rejoice] in ·evil [wrongdoing; injustice] but rejoices over the truth. 7 Love ·patiently accepts all things [T bears all things; or always protects], ·always trusts [T believes all things], ·always hopes [T hopes all things], and ·always endures [T endures all things].
8 Love never ·ends [fails; falls short]. There are gifts of prophecy, but they will ·be ended [cease; pass away]. There are gifts of ·speaking in different languages [or ecstatic utterance; L tongues], but those gifts will ·stop [cease; fall silent]. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will ·come to an end [pass away; be set aside]. 9 ·The reason is that [For] ·our knowledge and our ability to prophesy are not perfect [L we know in part/imperfectly and we prophesy in part/incompletely]. 10 But when ·perfection [the perfect; completeness; wholeness] comes, the ·things that are not perfect [partial] will ·end [pass away; be set aside]. 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 ·stopped [set aside] those childish ways. 12 ·It is the same with us [L For…]. Now we see ·a dim reflection [obscurely; or indirectly], ·as if we were looking into a mirror [T through a glass darkly], but then we shall see ·clearly [L face to face]. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as ·God has known me [L I am fully known]. 13 So these three things ·continue forever [endure; remain]: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.

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.
