And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Und wenn ich alle meine Habe den Armen gäbe und ließe meinen Leib brennen, und hätte der Liebe nicht, so wäre mir's nichts nütze.
Y si repartiese toda mi hacienda para dar de comer a pobres, y si entregase mi cuerpo para ser quemado, y no tengo caridad, de nada me sirve.
Y si reparto todos mis bienes para dar de comer, y si entrego mi cuerpo para ser quemado, pero no tengo amor, de nada me sirve.
Et quand je distribuerais tous mes biens pour la nourriture des pauvres, quand je livrerais même mon corps pour être brûlé, si je n'ai pas la charité, cela ne me sert de rien.
E quand’anche io spendessi in nudrire i poveri tutte le mie facoltà, e dessi il mio corpo ad essere arso; se non ho carità, quello niente mi giova
E ainda que distribuísse toda a minha fortuna para sustento dos pobres, e ainda que entregasse o meu corpo para ser queimado, e não tivesse amor, nada disso me aproveitaria.
我若將所有的財產救濟窮人,又犧牲自己的身體讓人誇讚 ,卻沒有愛,仍然對我無益。
