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 patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
