TOJB2011 ▾1 Corinthians1 Corinthians 131If 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.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.6Ahavah does not find simcha in evil, but rejoices in HaEmes.7Ahavah covers all things, 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.12For still we see through a mirror indistinctly. But then, 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.13But now remain emunah, tikvah, and ahavah, these shalosh (three) . And the greatest of these is ahavah.1 Corinthians 121 Corinthians 14
