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 Meilė kantri ir maloni, meilė nepavydi; meilė nesigiria ir neišpuiksta.

5 Ji nesielgia nepadoriai, neieško savo naudos, nepasiduoda piktumui, nemąsto piktai,

6 nesidžiaugia neteisybe, džiaugiasi tiesa;

7 visa pakenčia, visa tiki, viskuo viliasi ir visa ištveria.

8 Meilė niekada nesibaigia. Baigsis pranašystės, paliaus kalbos, išnyks pažinimas,
