| 格林多前書 |
1 Corinthians |
| 1我若能說人間的語言，和能說天使的語言；但我若沒有愛，我就成了個發聲的鑼，或發響的鈸。 |
1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. |
| 2我若有先知之恩，又明白一切奧秘和各種知識；我若有全備的信心，甚至能移山；但我若沒有愛，我什麼也不算。 |
2And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. |
| 3我若把我所有的財產全施捨了，我若捨身投火被焚；但我若沒有愛，為我毫無益處。 |
3If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. |
| 4愛是含忍的，愛是慈祥的，愛不嫉妒，不誇張，不自大， |
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, |
| 5不作無禮的事，不求己益，不動怒，不圖謀惡事， |
5it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, |
| 6不以不義為樂，卻與真理同樂： |
6it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. |
| 7凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。 |
7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. |
| 8愛永存不朽，而先知之恩，終必消失；語言之恩，終必停止；知識之恩，終必消逝。 |
8 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. |
| 9因為我們現在所知道的，只是局部的；我們作先知所講的，也只是局部的； |
9For we know partially and we prophesy partially, |
| 10及至那圓滿的一來到，局部的就必要消逝。 |
10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. |
| 11當我是孩子的時候，說話像孩子，看事像孩子，思想像孩子；幾時我一成了人，就把孩子的事丟棄了。 |
11When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. |
| 12我們現在是藉着鏡子觀看，模糊不清，到那時，就要面對面的觀看了。我現在所認識的，只是局部的，那時我就要全認清了，如同我全被認清一樣。 |
12At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. |
| 13現今存在的，有信、望、愛這三樣，但其中最大的是愛。 |
13 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love. |
