Isipho esikhulu kulazo zonke siluthando
13Nxa ngingakhuluma ngendimia zabantu lezezingilosi, kodwa ngingelathando, ngizakuba lithusi elikhalayo kumbe insimbi encencethayob. 2 Njalo loba ngingaba lesiprofethoc, ngisazi imfihlo zonke lokwazid konke, njalo uba ngilokholoe lonke, ukuze ngisuse izintabaf, kodwa ngingelathando, angisilutho. 3 Njalo loba ngingabelag abayanga konke engilakho, njalo uba nginganikela umzimba wami ukuthi ngitshiswe, kodwa ngingelathando, kakungisizi ngalutho.
4 Uthando luyabekezelahi, lulobubelej; uthando kalulamonak; uthando kaluzincomi, kalukhukhunyezwal, 5 kaluziphathi ngokungafanelangam, kaluzidingeli okwalon, kalucunukio, kalunakani okubip, 6 kaluthokoziq ngokungalungangar, kodwa luthokoza eqiniswenist; 7 lusibekela izinto zonkeu, lukholwa izinto zonke, luthemba izinto zonke, lubekezelela izinto zonkev.
8 Uthando kalungeke lwehluleke. Kumbe-ke iziprofethowx, zizakwenziwa zipheley; kumbe indimiza, zizakhawula; kumbe ulwazib, luzakwenziwa luphelec. 9 Ngoba sazid nganxanyee, siprofethaf nganxanye; 10 kodwa lapho sekufikile okupheleleyog, khona okuyingxenyeh kuzakwenziwa izei. 11 Lapho ngilusane, ngakhuluma njengosane, ngaqedisisa njengosane, nganakana njengosane; kodwa kuthe sengiyindoda, ngazenza ize izinto zosanej. 12 Ngoba khathesi sibonak esibukwenil kaluvivi1, kodwa ngalesosikhathi ubuso ngobusom; khathesi ngazi nganxanyen, kodwa ngalesosikhathi ngizakwazio njengoba-ke ngangisaziwap. 13 Njalo khathesi-ke kumi ukholo, ithemba, uthando, lokhu kokuthathu; kodwa okukhulu kulokhu luthando.
