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,

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.
