This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

13 If with _the tongues of_ the _humans I _may _be _speaking and of_ the _messengers, but love not I _may _be _having, I _have _become brass resounding or a_cymbal screaming.

2 And _if I _may _be _having prophecy, and I _may _have _known the mysteries all, and all the knowledge, and _if I _may _be _having all the faith, so _as mountains to _be _removing, but love not I _may _be _having, nothing I _am.

3 And _if I _may _give _away all the things possessing of _me, and I _may _give _over the body of _me, in _order _that I _may _boast, but love not I _may _be _having, nothing I _am _being _benefitted.

4 The love is _being _patient, is _being _kind, the love not is _being _jealous, the love not is _bragging, not is _being _arrogant,

5 not is _dishonouring, not is _seeking the things of _itself, not is _being _provoked, not is _counting the evil,

6 not is _rejoicing at the unrighteousness, but is _rejoicing _with with _the truth,

7 all things is _enduring, all things is _believing, all things is _hoping, all things is _enduring.

8 The love never is _falling.
But whether prophesies, they _will _be _being _nullified, or tongues, they _will _be _ceasing, or knowledge, it _will _be _being _nullified.

9 By for part we _are _knowing, and by part we _are _prophesying,

10 but whenever may _come the perfect, the thing by part will _be _being _nullified.

11 When I _was an_infant, I _was _speaking like an_infant, I _was _thinking like an_infant, I _was _counting like an_infant, when I _have _become a_man, I _have _nullified the things of _the infant.

12 For/Because we _are _seeing now through a_mirror in an_enigma, but then face to face, now I _am _knowing by part, but then I _will _be _knowing _fully, as also I _was _known _fully.

13 But right _now is _remaining faith, hope, love, the three things these, and greater of _these is the love.
