I Corinthios

Question 1

si linguis hominum loquar et angelorum caritatem autem non habeam factus sum velut aes sonans aut cymbalum tinniens

Answer 1

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal

Question 2

et si habuero prophetiam et noverim mysteria omnia et omnem scientiam et habuero omnem fidem ita ut montes transferam caritatem autem non habuero nihil sum

Answer 2

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Question 3

et si distribuero in cibos pauperum omnes facultates meas et si tradidero corpus meum ut ardeam caritatem autem non habuero nihil mihi prodest

Answer 3

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Question 4

caritas patiens est benigna est caritas non aemulatur non agit perperam non inflatur

Answer 4

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

Question 5

non est ambitiosa non quaerit quae sua sunt non inritatur non cogitat malum

Answer 5

does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

Question 6

non gaudet super iniquitatem congaudet autem veritati

Answer 6

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

Question 7

omnia suffert omnia credit omnia sperat omnia sustinet

Answer 7

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Question 8

caritas numquam excidit sive prophetiae evacuabuntur sive linguae cessabunt sive scientia destruetur

Answer 8

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Question 9

ex parte enim cognoscimus et ex parte prophetamus

Answer 9

For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

Question 10

cum autem venerit quod perfectum est evacuabitur quod ex parte est

Answer 10

But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

Question 11

cum essem parvulus loquebar ut parvulus sapiebam ut parvulus cogitabam ut parvulus quando factus sum vir evacuavi quae erant parvuli

Answer 11

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Question 12

videmus nunc per speculum in enigmate tunc autem facie ad faciem nunc cognosco ex parte tunc autem cognoscam sicut et cognitus sum

Answer 12

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

Question 13

nunc autem manet fides spes caritas tria haec maior autem his est caritas

Answer 13

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
