英语经典美文诵读100篇：029.the gift of love
[00:11.57]If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels,
[00:15.11]but do not have love,
[00:16.87]I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
[00:20.09]And if I have prophetic powers,
[00:22.53]and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
[00:25.93]and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
[00:29.66]but do not have love, I am nothing.
[00:33.53]If I give away all my possessions,
[00:35.89]and if I hand over my body so that I may boast,
[00:39.32]but do not have love, I gain nothing.
[00:43.43]Love is patient; love is kind;
[00:46.66]love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
[00:51.20]It does not insist on its own way;
[00:54.03]it is not irritable or resentful;
[00:57.12]it does not rejoice in wrongdoing,
[00:59.73]but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things,
[01:04.20]believes all things hopes all things, endures all things.
[01:10.20]Love never ends.
[01:12.28]But as for prophecies, they will come to an end;
[01:16.48]as for tongues, they will cease;
[01:19.65]as for knowledge, it will come to an end.
[01:23.09]For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part;
[01:28.02]but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end.
[01:32.73]When I was a child, I thought like a child;
[01:36.29]when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.
[01:41.20]For now we see in a mirror, dimly,
[01:44.48]but then we will see face to face.
[01:47.50]Now I know only in part;
[01:50.05]then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.
[01:56.08]And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
[02:01.39]and the greatest of these is love.
