哥林多前書，１３章，４－８節

13:4 愛是恆久忍耐、又有恩慈．愛是不嫉妒．愛是不自誇．不張狂．
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

13:5 不作害羞的事．不求自己的益處．不輕易發怒．不計算人的惡．
does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,

13:6 不喜歡不義．只喜歡真理．
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

13:7 凡事包容．凡事相信．凡事盼望．凡事忍耐。
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

13:8 愛是永不止息．先知講道之能、終必歸於無有．說方言之能、終必停止、知識也終必歸於無有。
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
