4 Sevgi sabırlıdır, sevgi şefkatlidir. Sevgi kıskanmaz, övünmez, böbürlenmez.

5 Sevgi kaba davranmaz, kendi çıkarını aramaz, kolay kolay öfkelenmez, kötülüğün hesabını tutmaz.

6 Sevgi haksızlığa sevinmez, gerçek olanla sevinir.

7 Sevgi her şeye katlanır, her şeye inanır, her şeyi umut eder, her şeye dayanır.

8 Sevgi asla son bulmaz. Ama peygamberlikler ortadan kalkacak, diller sona erecek, bilgi ortadan kalkacaktır.

4 Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

5 Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

6 It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true;

7 Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

8 Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.
