Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 13
13
1If I speak with the tongues of men and of messengers, but do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2And if I have prophecy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all belief, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am none at all.
3And if I give out all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, I am not profited at all.
4Love is patient, is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, is not puffed up,
5does not behave indecently, does not seek its own, is not provoked, reckons not the evil,
6does not rejoice over the unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth,
7it covers all, believes all, expects all, endures all.
8Love never fails. And whether there be prophecies, they shall be inactive; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall be inactive.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
10But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be inactive.
11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child. But when I became a man, I did away with childish matters.
12For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, as I also have been known.
13And now belief, expectation, and love remain - these three. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13
13
1If in the leshonot of Bnei Adam and malachim I speak, but I do not have ahavah, I have become only a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2And if I have nevu'ah and have da'as of all sodot and all da'as, and if I have all emunah so as to remove mountains, but ahavah I do not have, I am nothing.
3And if I'm a marbitz tzedaka and give all I possess in gemilut chasadim and if I give my body al kiddush Hashem for sereifah (death by burning), but ahavah I do not have, I have gained nothing.#13:3 Dan 3:28
4Ahavah suffers long; ahavah is kind; ahavah does not have kinah; ahavah does not brag; ahavah is not puffed up in ga'avah (conceit, pride);
5ahavah does not behave shamelessly; ahavah does not in anochiyut insist on its own way; ahavah is not touchy and vindictive, keeping a record of wrongs.#13:5 Zech 8:17
6Ahavah does not find simcha in evil, but rejoices in HaEmes.
7Ahavah covers all things,#13:7 Prov 10:12 believes all things, has tikvah (hope), even savlanut, for all things.
8Ahavah never fails. However, divrei nevu'ah will be abolished; leshonot will cease; da'as will come to an end.
9For we have da'as in part, and we have divrei nevu'ah is part.
10But when shleimah (completion) comes, the teilvaiz (partial) will disappear.
11When I was a yeled, I used to speak like one, think like one, reason like one. But when I became mevugar (mature), I put away kinderyohrn.#13:11 Ps 131:2
12For still we see through a mirror indistinctly. But then,#13:12 in the Olam Haba distinctly, panim el panim. Now I have da'as only in part; then I will have da'as fully, even as also Hashem had full da'as of me.#13:12 Job 26:14; 36:26; Gn 32:30; Job 19:26
13But now remain emunah, tikvah, and ahavah, these shalosh (three). And the greatest of these is ahavah.
