Esto es amor: 1 Corintios 13.
Dios es así: 1 Corintios 13.
¿Soy yo así? 1 Corintios 13.
¿Qué es el amor – según Dios?
Basado en 1 Corintios 13 – traducción basada sobre la Amplified Bible (inglés) (AMP)
4 El amor …
perdura con paciencia y serenidad,
es amable y considerado,
No es celoso ni envidioso;
no presume
No es orgulloso ni arrogante.
5 no es grosero
no es egoísta
no se deja provocar [ni es demasiado sensible, ni se enoja fácilmente];
No toma en cuenta un mal soportado.
6 no se regocija en la injusticia
se regocija en la verdad [cuando lo correcto y lo verdadero prevalecen].
7 El amor
soporta todas las cosas [independientemente de lo que venga],
cree todas las cosas [buscando lo mejor en cada persona],
siempre tiene esperanza [permanece firme durante los tiempos difíciles],
Soporta todas las cosas [sin debilitarse].
8 nunca falla [nunca se desvanece ni termina].
13 Y ahora quedan:
la fe [confianza permanente en Dios y Sus promesas],
la esperanza [expectativa confiada en la salvación eterna],
el amor [amor desinteresado por otros que surgen del amor de Dios por mí],
estas tres [que son la gracia más selecta];
Pero el mayor de ellos es el amor.

1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing. 3 If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all.
4 Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. 5 It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. 6 It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. 7 Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].
8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. 10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. 13 And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love.
