Kodwa shisekela izintelezi ezingcono. Futhi ngembulela enye indlela enhle kakhulu.

13:1	Uma ngikhuluma ngolimi lwabantu, kumbe eyeziNgelosi, nokho ningabi nalo uthando, Ngizoba njengensimbi ekhencezayo noma isimbali esikhencezayo.
13:2	Futhi uma nginesiprofetho, futhi ufunde yonke imfihlakalo, futhi uthole lonke ulwazi, futhi ube nakho konke ukukholwa, ukuze ngisuse izintaba, nokho ningabi nalo uthando, khona-ke angilutho.
13:3	Futhi uma ngihambisa yonke impahla yami ukuze ngondle abampofu, noma nginikela umzimba wami ukuba ushiswe, nokho ningabi nalo uthando, ayinginiki lutho.
13:4	UCharity uyabekezela, unomusa. Charity akanamona, akenzi kabi, ayivuthisiwe.
13:5	I-Charity ayinaso isifiso sokuvelela, aluzifuneli lona, akacunuki, akacabangi okubi.
13:6	Uthando aluthokozi ngobubi, kodwa lithokoza ngeqiniso.
13:7	Charity uhlupheka konke, ukholwa konke, uthemba konke, lubekezelela konke.
13:8	I-Charity ayiqedwa, lanxa iziphrofetho zidlula, noma izilimi ziphela, noma ulwazi luchithwa.
13:9	Ngokuba sazi inxenye kuphela, futhi siprofetha ingxenye kuphela.
13:10	Kodwa lapho okuphelele kufika, ongaphelele uyadlula.
13:11	Lapho ngiseyingane, Ngakhuluma njengengane, Ngaqonda njengengane, Ngangicabanga njengengane. Kodwa lapho sengiyindoda, Izinto zengane ngizibeke eceleni.
13:12	Manje sibona ngengilazi kumnyama. Kodwa ke sizobona ubuso nobuso. Manje ngazi ngokwengxenye, kodwa-ke ngiyakwazi, njengoba ngaziwa.
13:13	Kodwa okwamanje, laba abathathu bayaqhubeka: ukholo, ithemba, kanye nesisa. Futhi okukhulu kunakho konke uthando.

Ivangeli

IVangeli Elingcwele NgokukaLuka 7: 31-35

7:31	Then the Lord said: “Ngakho-ke, to what shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they similar?
7:32	They are like children sitting in the marketplace, talking with one another, futhi ethi: ‘We sang to you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not weep.’
7:33	For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, futhi uthi, ‘He has a demon.’
7:34	The Son of man came, ukudla nokuphuza, futhi uthi, ‘Bheka, a voracious man and a drinker of wine, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’
7:35	But wisdom is justified by all her children.”
