4 O amor é paciente, é benigno; o amor não arde em ciúmes, não se ufana, não se ensoberbece, 5 não se conduz inconvenientemente, não procura os seus interesses, não se exaspera, não se ressente do mal; 6 não se alegra com a injustiça, mas regozija-se com a verdade; 7 tudo sofre, tudo crê, tudo espera, tudo suporta. 8 O amor jamais acaba; mas, havendo profecias, desaparecerão; havendo línguas, cessarão; havendo ciência, passará;

4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
