1 Corinthians 13:3-5
Contemporary English Version
1 Corinthians 13:3-5
Contemporary English Version
3 What if I gave away all
that I owned
and let myself
be burned alive?[a]
I would gain nothing,
unless I loved others.
4 Love is patient and kind,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or 5 rude.
Love isn't selfish
or quick tempered.
It doesn't keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
Footnotes
- 13.3 and let myself be burned alive: Some manuscripts have “so that I could brag.”
