Charity suffers long and is kind, it envies not, vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil, rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Ang pag-ibig ay matiyaga at magandangloob, hindi nananaghili, nagmamapuri o nagmamataas, hindi magaspang ang pag-uugali, hindi makasarili, hindi magagalitin o mapagtanim sa kapwa. Hindi nito ikinatutuwa ang gawang masama ngunit ikinagagalak ang katotohanan.
