Láska je trpezlivá, láska je dobrotivá, nezávidí, nevypína sa, nevystatuje sa,

nie je nehanebná, nie je sebecká,

nerozčuluje sa, nemyslí na zlé, neteší sa z neprávosti, ale raduje sa z pravdy.

Všetko znáša, všetko verí, všetko dúfa, všetko vydrží.

Láska nikdy nezanikne.

(Anglická verzia)

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or

vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

It is not conceited ,it is not rude and does not act unbecomingly. Love does not insist on its own rights or its own way,

for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it.

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are

fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything.   

Love never fails.
