13:4 爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒，爱是不自夸，不张狂，
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
13:5 不作害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
13:6 不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
13:7 凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
13:8 爱是永不止息。先知讲道之能终必归于无有，说方言之能终必停止，知识也终必归于无有。
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
13:9 我们现在所知道的有限，先知所讲的也有限，
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
13:10 等那完全的来到，这有限的必归于无有了。
but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
13:11 我作孩子的时候，话语像孩子，心思像孩子，意念像孩子；既成了人，就把孩子的事丢弃了。
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 childish ways behind me.
13:12 我们如今彷佛对着镜子观看，模糊不清，到那时，就要面对面了。我如今所知道的有限，到那时就全知道，如同主知道我一样。
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13:13 如今常存的有信，有望，有爱；这三样，其中最大的是爱。
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
