哥林多前书13:1-3
1我若能说万人的方言，并天使的话语却没有爱，我就成了鸣的锣，响的钹一般。2我若有先知讲道之能，也明白各样的奥秘，各样的知识。而且有全备的信，叫我能够移山，却没有爱，我就算不得什么。3我若将所有的周济穷人，又舍己身叫人焚烧，却没有爱，仍然与我无益。
1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;#13:3 Some manuscripts read sacrificed my body to be burned. but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
