1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And 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. 3And 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. 4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8Charity 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. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11When 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. 12For 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. 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

113:1 nny 8Singa njogera ennimi z’abantu n’eza bamalayika, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba ng’ekidde, ekireekaana oba ng’ekitaasa ekisaala. 213:2 a 1Ko 14:2 b 1Ko 12:9 c Mat 17:20; 21:21Ne bwe mba n’ekirabo eky’okwogera eby’obunnabbi, ne ntegeera ebyama byonna, era ne mmanya ebintu byonna, era ne bwe mba n’okukkiriza okungi ne kunsobozesa n’okusiguukulula ensozi, naye nga sirina kwagala, mba siri kintu. 313:3 a Mat 6:2 b Dan 3:28Ne bwe mpaayo ebyange byonna okuyamba abaavu, era ne bwe mpaayo omubiri gwange ne nneewaana, naye ne siba na kwagala, sibaako kye ngasibbwa.
413:4 1Bs 5:14Okwagala kugumiikiriza era kwa kisa. Okwagala tekulina buggya era tekwenyumiikiriza wadde okwekuluntaza. 513:5 1Ko 10:24Okwagala tekukola bitasaana, tekunoonya byakwo, tekunyiiga mangu, era tekusiba kibi ku mwoyo. 613:6 a 2Bs 2:12 b 2Yk 4; 3Yk 3, 4Okwagala tekusanyukira bitali bya butuukirivu, wabula kusanyukira mazima. 7Okwagala kugumira byonna, kukkiriza byonna, kusuubira byonna era kugumiikiriza byonna.

Naye bwe nakula ne ndeka eby’ekito. 1213:12 a Lub 32:30; 2Ko 5:7; 1Yk 3:2 b 1Ko 8:3Kaakano tulaba kifaananyi bufaananyi, ng’abali mu ndabirwamu eteraba bulungi; naye tulirabira ddala bulungi amaaso n’amaaso. Kaakano mmanyiiko kitundu butundu, naye luli ndimanyira ddala byonna, mu bujjuvu.
1313:13 a Bag 5:5, 6 b 1Ko 16:14Kaakano waliwo ebintu bisatu eby’olubeerera: okukkiriza, n’okusuubira, era n’okwagala. Naye ekisingako ku ebyo obukulu kwe kwagala.
