Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Wenn ich mit Menschen- und mit Engelzungen redete, und hätte der Liebe nicht, so wäre ich ein tönend Erz oder eine klingende Schelle.
Si yo hablase lenguas humanas y angélicas, y no tengo caridad, vengo a ser como metal que resuena, o címbalo que retiñe.
Si hablo las lenguas de los hombres y de los ángeles, pero no tengo amor, me he convertido en bronce que resuena o en címbalo que retiñe.
Quand je parlerais les langues des hommes et des anges, si je n'ai pas la charité, je suis un airain qui résonne, ou une cymbale qui retentit.
QUAND’anche io parlassi tutti i linguaggi degli uomini e degli angeli se non ho carità, divengo un rame risonante, ed un tintinnante cembalo.
AINDA que eu falasse as línguas dos homens e dos anjos, e não tivesse amor, seria como o metal que soa ou como o sino que tine.
我若能說人間的方言,甚至天使的語言,卻沒有愛,我就成為鳴的鑼、響的鈸一般。
