4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish 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,
