THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS

Latin	English
[1] si linguis hominum loquar et angelorum caritatem autem non habeam factus sum velut aes sonans aut cymbalum tinniens	If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
[2] et si habuero prophetiam et noverim mysteria omnia et omnem scientiam et habuero omnem fidem ita ut montes transferam caritatem autem non habuero nihil sum	And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
[3] et si distribuero in cibos pauperum omnes facultates meas et si tradidero corpus meum ut ardeam caritatem autem non habuero nihil mihi prodest	And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
[4] caritas patiens est benigna est caritas non aemulatur non agit perperam non inflatur	Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up,
[5] non est ambitiosa non quaerit quae sua sunt non inritatur non cogitat malum	Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil:
[6] non gaudet super iniquitatem congaudet autem veritati	Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth:
[7] omnia suffert omnia credit omnia sperat omnia sustinet	Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
[8] caritas numquam excidit sive prophetiae evacuabuntur sive linguae cessabunt sive scientia destruetur	Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void or tongues shall cease or knowledge shall be destroyed.
[9] ex parte enim cognoscimus et ex parte prophetamus	For we know in part: and we prophesy in part.
[10] cum autem venerit quod perfectum est evacuabitur quod ex parte est	But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.
[11] cum essem parvulus loquebar ut parvulus sapiebam ut parvulus cogitabam ut parvulus quando factus sum vir evacuavi quae erant parvuli	When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child.
[12] videmus nunc per speculum in enigmate tunc autem facie ad faciem nunc cognosco ex parte tunc autem cognoscam sicut et cognitus sum	We see now through a glass in a dark manner: but then face to face. Now I know in part: but then I shall know even as I am known.
[13] nunc autem manet fides spes caritas tria haec maior autem his est caritas	And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.
