1 Corinthians 13 The Message (MSG)
1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.
11When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.
12We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
13But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

1 Corintios 13 Palabra de Dios para Todos (PDT)
Déjense guiar por el amor
13 Si yo puedo hablar varios idiomas humanos e incluso idiomas de ángeles, pero no tengo amor, soy como un metal que resuena o una campanilla que repica.
2 Yo puedo tener el don de profetizar y conocer todos los secretos de Dios. También puedo tener todo el conocimiento y tener una fe que mueva montañas. Pero si no tengo amor, no soy nada.3 Puedo entregar todo lo que tengo para ayudar a los demás, hasta ofrecer mi cuerpo para que lo quemen. [a] Pero si no tengo amor, eso no me sirve de nada.
4 El amor es paciente y bondadoso.
El amor no es envidioso.
No es presumido ni orgulloso.
5 El amor no es descortés ni egoísta.
No se enoja fácilmente.
El amor no lleva cuenta de las ofensas.
6 No se alegra de la injusticia, sino de la verdad.
7 El amor acepta todo con paciencia.
Siempre confía.
Nunca pierde la esperanza.
Todo lo soporta.
8 El amor no tiene fin. Algún día, el don de profetizar cesará. El don de hablar en lenguas se acabará. El de conocimiento se terminará. 9 Ahora sólo en parte conocemos y profetizamos, 10 pero cuando venga lo perfecto, todo lo que es en parte se acabará.
11 Cuando era niño hablaba como niño, pensaba como niño y razonaba como niño. Pero ya de adulto, dejé de comportarme como niño. 12 Sucede lo mismo con nosotros. Ahora vemos todo como el reflejo tenue de un espejo oscuro, pero cuando llegue lo perfecto, nos veremos con Dios cara a cara. Ahora mi conocimiento es parcial, pero luego mi conocimiento será completo. Conoceré a Dios tal como él me conoce a mí.
13 Ahora permanecen estas tres cosas: la fe, la esperanza y el amor, pero el más grande de todos es el amor.
