1 Corinthians 13

4Ahavah suffers long; ahavah is kind; ahavah does not have kinah; ahavah does not brag; ahavah is not puffed up in ga'avah (conceit, pride) ;

5ahavah does not behave shamelessly; ahavah does not in anochiyut insist on its own way; ahavah is not touchy and vindictive, keeping a record of wrongs.[#13:5 Zech 8:17]

6Ahavah does not find simcha in evil, but rejoices in HaEmes.

7Ahavah covers all things, believes all things, has tikvah (hope) , even savlanut, for all things.[#13:7 Prov 10:12]

8Ahavah never fails. However, divrei nevu'ah will be abolished; leshonot will cease; da'as will come to an end.

9For we have da'as in part, and we have divrei nevu'ah is part.

10But when shleimah (completion) comes, the teilvaiz (partial) will disappear.

11When I was a yeled, I used to speak like one, think like one, reason like one. But when I became mevugar (mature) , I put away kinderyohrn.[#13:11 Ps 131:2]

12For still we see through a mirror indistinctly. But then, distinctly, panim el panim. Now I have da'as only in part; then I will have da'as fully, even as also Hashem had full da'as of me.[#13:12 in the Olam Haba; #13:12 Job 26:14; 36:26; Gn 32:30; Job 19:26]

13But now remain emunah, tikvah, and ahavah, these shalosh (three) . And the greatest of these is ahavah.
