1 Corinthians thirteen is the thirteenth chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians in the New Attestation of the Christian Bible. It is authored by Paul the Campaigner and Sosthenes in Ephesus. This affiliate covers the subject of Love. In the original Greek, the word ἀγάπη afraid is used throughout the "Ο ύμνος της αγάπης" . This is translated into English as "clemency" in the King James version; simply the word "love" is preferred past most other translations, both earlier and more than contempo.[one]
Text [edit]
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into thirteen verses.
English translation [edit]
New King James Version
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but take non love, I am merely a resounding gong or clanging cymbal resounding in the current of air. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and can understand all mysteries and all cognition, and though I have faith, that can motility mountains, merely have not beloved, I am nothing. 3 And though I give all I possess to the poor, and surrender my torso to the flames,[two] but accept not love, I gain cypher.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; dearest does not envy; love does non parade itself, is non puffed upwardly; five does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does non rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether at that place are tongues, they volition cease; whether at that place is noesis, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in role and we prophesy in role. 10 But when that which is perfect has come up, then that which is in part will be done abroad.
11 When I was a kid, I spoke as a child, I understood every bit a child, I thought as a kid; but when I became a man, I put abroad childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly, merely then face to face. Now I know in part, but and so I shall know just as I as well am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these iii; but the greatest of these is love.
Agape [edit]
This chapter of i Corinthians is one of many definitional sources for the discussion agape when used to refer to divine love.[iii] Introducing his homage to dearest in one Corinthians 12:31, Paul describes agape as "a more excellent way".
"Through a drinking glass, darkly" [edit]
i Corinthians 13:12 contains the phrase βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι' ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι ( blepomen gar arti di esoptrou en ainigmati ), which was translated in the 1560 Geneva Bible every bit "For now we come across through a drinking glass darkly" (without a comma). This wording was used in the 1611 KJV, which added a comma before "darkly". This passage has inspired the titles of many works, with and without the comma.[4]
The Greek word: ἐσόπτρου esoptrou (genitive; nominative: ἔσοπτρον esoptron ), here translated "glass", is ambiguous, peradventure referring to a mirror or a lens. Influenced by Strong's Cyclopedia, many modern translations conclude that this discussion refers specifically to a mirror.[5] Instance English-language translations include:
- Now we see merely a poor reflection as in a mirror (New International Version)
- What we run across at present is similar a dim image in a mirror (Skillful News Bible)
Paul'due south usage is in keeping with rabbinic use of the term אספקלריה ( aspaklaria ), a borrowing from the Latin specularia . This has the same cryptic pregnant, although Adam Clarke concluded that it was a reference to specularibus lapidibus , articulate polished stones used equally lenses or windows.[6] One fashion to preserve this ambivalence is to use the English cognate, speculum.[7] Rabbi Judah ben Ilai (2nd century) was quoted as saying "All the prophets had a vision of God as He appeared through nine specula" while "Moses saw God through one speculum."[8] The Babylonian Talmud states similarly "All the prophets gazed through a speculum that does not shine, while Moses our teacher gazed through a speculum that shines."[9]
